FAMILY  XERITID^. 

Animal  with  a  broad,  short  muzzle,  and  long  slender  tentacles, 
with  eyes  on  prominent  pedicels  at  their  outer  bases,  foot  oblong, 
wide  in  front,  attenuated  behind,  branchia  long,  triangular,  pointed, 
free  at  its  extremity,  ventricle  embracing  the  intestine,  anus  on  the 
right  side. 

Dentition :  8-I'(3  -f  I  -f-  3)T8.  The  middle  tooth  small,  sub- 
quadrangular,  second  central  tooth  very  large,  transverse,  sub- 
rhomboidal,  third  and  fourth  central  teeth  very  small ;  lateral  tooth 
with  reflected,  simple  or  denticulated  margin ;  marginal  teeth  nu- 
merous, narrow,  curved,  serrated.  PI.  1,  figs.  2,  o. 

Shell  imperforate,  thick,  seniiglobose,  porcellanous,  spire  very 
small,  internally  porcellanous,  the  cavity  simple  from  the  absorp- 
tion of  the  internal  portion  of  the  whorls  by  the  animal  (PL  1,  fig. 
15),  aperture  seniilimate,  entire,  the  columellar  lip  flattened,  septi- 
forrn,  with  a  rectilinear,  plain  or  dentate  margin,  outer  lip  rounded, 
sharp  or  thickened,  not  reflected. 

The  impression  of  the  adductor  muscle  is  horse-shoe  shaped,  open 
in  front,  and  is  visible  within  the  aperture. 

Operculum  calcareous,  usually  subspiral,  provided  with  projecting 
lobes  on  its  inner  face,  the  inner  margin  forming  a  pseudo-articula- 
tion with  the  columellar  lip. 

Aquatic,  although  some  species  can  live  out  of  water ;  herbivor-

in  either  of  the  iconographies.  I  have,  in  the  main,  followed  his 
arrangement  of  the  species,  although  a  different  disposition  of  some 
of  the  groups  has  appeared  to  me  more  desirable,  and  has  accord- 
ingly been  attempted.  In  the  Xeritinse  Von  Martens  has  made  the 
opercular  processes  the  basis  of  his  classification,  whilst  I  have  con- 
sidered characters  of  the  shell  as  of  more  importance ;  the  result  is 
a  different  succession  of  groups,  whilst  their  contents  remain  es- 
sentially alike. 

Synopsis  of  Genera. 
Genus  NERITA,  Adanson.  1757. 

Shell  thick,  smooth  or  spirally  ridged  and  grooved,  porcellanous, 
under  a  corneous  adhering  epidermis — sometimes  wanting;  outer 
lip  thick,  usually  denticulated  within,  columellar  lip  flattened,  its 
margin  dentate,  straight.  Operculum  calcareous,  the  outer  face 
granulated  or  with  a  decurrent  groove,  paucispiral,  with  excentric 
nucleus,  inner  face  callous,  the  apical  and  claviform  apophyses  well- 
marked,  marginal  apophysis  more  or  less  developed,  corresponding 
with  the  groove  of  the  outer  face. 

Animal  usually  with  festooned  mantle  margin.  Living  on  rocks 
and  stones,  generally  inactive  by  day,  but  said  to  be  active  at  night, 
roaming  about  and  feeding  on  algse,  etc.  Gregarious,  and  littoral, 
and  nearly  exclusively  marine. 

About  200  living  species  have  heretofore  been  recognized,  in- 
habiting tropical  and  semitropical  shores  throughout  the  world. 
Sixty  fossil  species  have  been  enumerated,  but  the  earlier  forms  are 
somewhat  doubtful,  and  may  more  probably  be  referred  to  Nerito- 
domus. 
Section  NERITA,  Lamarck.  1799  (sensu  stricto). 

Columellar  lip  granular  or  tuberculated.     N.  ALBICILLA,  Linn. 

Theliostyla,  Morch.  1852,  and  Ncrfere,  Gray.  1858,  are  synonyms. 
Section  PELORONTA,  Oken.  1815. 

Columellar  lip  nearly  smooth,  its  margin  strongly  dentate,  outer 
lip  dentate  within.  N.  PELORONTA,  Linn. 

Tenare,  Gray.  1858,  is  a  synonym. 
Section  PILA,  Klein.  1753. 

Columellar  lip  rugosely  grooved  and  ridged,  its  edge  dentate, 
outer  lip  plicate  within,  with  a  large  tooth  at  either  extremity  of  the 
series.  N.  PLICATA,  Linn. 

Eitena,  Gray.  1858,  is  a  synonym. 


NERITID^E.  5 

Section  ODONTOSTOMA  (Klein.  1753),M6rch.  1852. 

Columellar  lip  smooth  or  nearly  smooth,  its  margin  dentate,  outer 
lip  scarcely  denticulated  within.  N.  POLJTA,  Linn. 

Subgenus  LISSOCHILUS,  Petho.  1882. 

Inner  lip  smooth,  its  margin  not  dentate,  outer  lip  sharp,  not 
thickened  or  dentate  within.  Triassic  and  Jurassic. 

N.    SIGARETINA,  BuV. 

Subgenus  OTOSTOMA,  d'Archiac.  1859. 

Shell  with  longitudinal  plications  and  very  fine  spiral  lines,  col- 
umellar  lip  thick,  with  dentate  margin. 

Cretaceous  of  Europe,  Algiers  and  Asia  Minor.  N.  KUGOSA, 
Hceningh. 

These  fossils  have  usually  lost  the  columellar  lip  and  the  inner 
layer  of  the  outer  lip,  but  traces  of  these  destroyed  parts  are  found 
upon  casts.  The  discovery  of  a  silicified  specimen  in  good  preser- 
vation and  intact  has  proven  the  identity  of  Otostoma  with  Nerita ; 
its  longitudinal  plications  will  serve  to  distinguish  it  subgenerically. 

Lyosoma,  White.  1882,  appears  to  be  synonymous.  Its  type  is 
L.  POWELLI,  White,  from  the  Jurassic  of  Utah. 

Genus  DESHAYESIA,  Raulin.  1844. 

Shell  subglobose,  thick,  umbilicated,  spire  short ;  aperture  entire, 
semicircular,  oblique,  columella  convex,  denticulated,  outer  lip 
smooth  internally. 

Eocene  and  Miocene  ;  Paris  and  Bordeaux  basins. 
D.  NERITOIDES,  Grat.  Struct,  and  Syst.  Conch.     PI.  78,  f.  59. 

This  genus  presents  a  very  remarkable  combination  of  the  char- 
acters of  Nerita  and  Natica,  and  appears  to  establish  a  passage  be- 
tween those  genera. 

Genus  NERITINA,  Lam.  1809. 

Shell  im perforate,  rather  thin,  globose,  with  short  spire,  usually 
smooth,  columellar  lip  flattened,  smooth,  straight-margined,  finely 
denticulated  or  smooth,  outer  lip  sharp,  not  callously  thickened  or 
toothed  within,  aperture  with  a  projection  on  the  inner  surface  near 
the  base  of  the  columella  (PI.  1,  fig.  16). 

Operculum  calcareous,  completely  closing  the  aperture ;  exteri- 
orly paucispiral  with  excentric  nucleus,  interiorly  with  an  apical 


6  NERITID.E. 

and  a  claviform  apophysis,  both  arising  from  the  summit,  and  some- 
times a  medio-marginal  apophysis  in  addition,  arising  from  the 
colnmellar  or  inner  margin  (PI.  1,  figs.  9,  10). 

No  important  differences  in  the  soft  parts  have  been  detected  be- 
tween Nerita  and  Xeritina.  Dentition,  PL  1,  fig.  3. 

About  200  generally  recognized  species  have  been  described. 
They  are  mostly  fluviatile,  but  a  few  inhabit  marine  or  brackish 
water,  and  a  very  few  are  of  terrestrial  habitat.  They  are  mostly 
tropical  and  subtropical  in  distribution.  Fossil,  they  occur  from 
the  liassic  downwards,  the  pattern  of  coloring  being  well  preserved; 
the  genus  becomes  numerous  in  species  in  the  miocene  and  pliocene. 

The  Neritinse  are  small,  smooth,  globular  shells,  ornamented  with 
a  great  variety  of  black  or  purple  lines,  bands  or  spots,  covered  by 
a  smooth,  polished,  horny  epidermis.  Some  species  are  amphibious, 
clinging  to  the  roots  of  Nipah  palms  and  other  trees  on  the  mar- 
gins of  rivers,  while  a  few  inhabit  the  foliage  of  tall  trees  that  over- 
hang the  water. 

Neritella  (Humphrey.  1797),  Gray.  1847,  Lamprostoma,  Swains. 
1840,  and  Neritcea,  Roth,  are  synonyms. 

Section  NERITINA  (sensu  stricto),  Swainson.  1840. 

Lip  sharp,  columellar  lip  rather  convex,  with  crenellated  margin, 
parietal  ridge  well  marked,  dentiform,  form  ovoid  with  rather  high 
spire,  usually  strigate.     Operculum  reddish  or  blackish,  both  pro- 
ss  well  developed,  separate.     Fluviatile.     N.  ZIGZAG,  Lam. 

Section  PUPERITA,  Gray.  1857. 

Shell  white,  with  black  zigzag  strigations,  yellowish  within. 
Similar  to  the  above,  but  marine.     1ST.  PUPA,  Linn. 

Section  NERITODRYAS,  Martens.  1869. 

Columellar  margin  smooth.  Rib  of  the  operculum  deeply  furrowed, 
multilobate  at  the  tip,  deeply  excavated  beneath.     Terrestrial. 
N.  CORNEA,  Linn. 

Inhabit  damp  foliage,  Philippines,  etc. 

Section  THEODOXUS,  Montf.  1810. 

Transversely  globose,  smooth  or  nearly  smooth,  columellar  mar- 
gin smooth.  The  claviform  apophysis  of  the  operculum  distinct, 
the  apical  apophysis  rudimentary.  Fluviatile.  Inhabits  mostly 
rivers  of  Europe  and  Western  Asia. 


NERITIDJE.  7 

Neritoglobus,  Kobelt.  1871,  Elea,  Ziegler.  1833,  and  Neritoconus, 
Kobelt.  1871,  are  synonyms.  N.  FLUVIATILIS,  Linn. 

Kobelt  separates  the  species  into  two  subsections,  according  to  the 
globose  or  conical  shape  of  the  shell,  but  the  latter  form  represents 
an  abnormal  growth,  including  specimens  of  species  undoubtedly 
belonging  normally  to  the  former. 

Section  NERITODONTA,  Brusina.  1884. 

Columella  thickened,  callous,  columellar  margin  subdenticulated ; 
parietal  apophysis  projecting.  N.  LUKOVICI,  Brusina.  Tertiary 
of  Dalmatia.  The  genera  (!)  Tripaloia,  Letourn.,  and  Calvertia, 
Suhit-Simonia,  Petrettinia  and  Burgersteinia,  Bourg.,  are  identical. 

Section  NERITILIA,  Martens.  1879. 

Columella  smooth  ;  operculum  with  a  single  erect  spatulate  pro- 
cess. N.  SUCCINEA,  Eecluz.  Guadeloupe,  W.  I.

liquely oval,  with  short  spire ;  columellar  area  callous,  the  margin 
finely  denticulate.  N.  VIRLDIS,  Linn.  Marine. 

West  Indies,  Mediterranean,  Pacific. 

Gaillardotia,  Bourg.  1876,  is  a  synonym.

TOIDP:S,  Smith. 

Section  CLYPEOLUM,  Recluz.  1850. 

Shell  globular,  oval  or  conic,  covered  by  a  corneous  epidermis, 
columellar  margin  not  dentate,  outer  lip  prolonged  upward  on  the 
spire  in  a  tongue-like  manner.  Operculum  colored,  with  well  de- 
veloped apophyses,  the  claviform  apophysis  grooved.  Fluviatile. 
Indo-Pacific.  N.  PULLIGERA,  Linn. 

Section  NERITONA,  Martens.  1869. 

Oval  globular,  with  very  short  spire ;  peritreme  widely  developed, 
subcontinuous,  columellar  margin  not  denticulate.  Operculum  with 
the  apical  process  depressed,  flattened,  lobate  at  the  tip.  Fluviatile. 

N.  LABIOSA,  Sowb. 

Subgenus  CLITHON,  Montfort.  1810. 

Shell  coronated  with  tubercles,  or  short  or  long  spines  (sometimes 
unarmed),  and  covered  by  a  corneous  epidermis ;  margin  of  colum 


8  NERITID^E. 

ellar  lip  usually  finely  denticulated,  often  with  a  large  superior 
tooth.  Operculum  with  rib  and  apophyses  well  developed,  the 
latter  connected  for  half  their  length. 

The  spines  that  usually  ornament  the  whorls  are  tubular,  and 
sometimes  very  long.  They  are  fluviatile  and  tropical,  crawling 
slowly,  and  only  showing  during  locomotion  the  tentacles  and  tip  of 
the  muzzle  ;  they  seem  to  prefer  a  stony  bottom,  clear  and  free  from 
weeds,  and  quiet  water.  N.  LONGISPINA,  Recluz. 

Subgenus  NERIPTERON,  Lesson.  1830. 

Shell  flattened,  biauriculated  posteriorly,  spire  postero-lateral ; 
inner  lip  septiform,  with  non-denticulated  margin,  outer  lip  very 
much  dilated  behind.  Operculum  typical.  Fluviatile.  Polynesia. 
N.  TAHITENSIS,  Lesson. 

Section  ALLNA,  Kecluz.  1842.

Shell  sandal-shaped,  solid,  the  apex  completely  posterior  and  a 
little  lateral;  peristome  continuous  and  free;  inner  lip  septiform, 
arcuated  and  denticulated  in  the  centre  of  its  margin.  Operculum 
typical.  Brackish  water.  East  Indies.  N.  CREPIDULARIA,  Lam. 

Genus  VELATES,  Montfort.  1810. 

Oval  conic,  spiral  at  the  apex  only ;  last  whorl  greatly  enlarged, 
resembling  Trochita  externally;  aperture  basal,  semicircular,  its 
margin  forming  with  that  of  the  wide,  flat  columellar  lip  a  circular 
outline,  columellar  margin  dentate.  Operculum  as  in  Neritina. 

Tertiary  of  Europe,  India,  Madagascar,  etc.  V.  PERVERSA, 
Linn.  (Struct,  and  Syst.  Conch.,  t.  78,  figs.  81,  82). 

Young  individuals  are  Neritiniform,  and  the  apex  is  completely 
lateral.

V.  CARDITOIDES,  Meek  (Struct,  and  Syst.  Conch.,  t.  78,  figs.  85,  86X 
Laramie  formation,  N.  America. 


NERITID.E.  9 

A 

Subgenus  TOMOSTOMA,  Desh.  1823. 

Shell  oval,  apex  slightly  spiral,  inclined  posteriorly,  base  rounded. 
PILEOLUS  NERITOIDES,  Desh.  Eocene,  Europe. 

Calana,  Gray,  1844,  is  a  synonym. 

This  group,  resembling  the  recent  Navicellse,  has  been  referred 
by  myself  and  others  to  Pileolus. 

Genus  NERITOMA,  Morris.  1849. 

Shell  ventricose,  thick,  apex  eroded ;  aperture  with  a  notch  in 
the  middle  of  the  outer  lip,  inner  lip  excavated  in  the  middle, 
without  teeth.  Jurassic,  Europe.  N.  ANGULATA,  Sowb.  (Struct. 
and  Syst.  Conch.,  t.  78,  fig.  63). 

Casts  of  this  shell  are  common,  and  exhibit  the  interior  charac- 
teristic of  the  Nerites: — it  was  probably  fluviatile. 

Subgenus  NERIDOMUS,  Morris  and  Lycett.  1850. 

Smooth,  ovately  globose,  spire  small,  oblique;  last  whorl  very 
large ;  aperture  ovate  or  semilunar,  outer  lip  thick,  inner  lip  con- 
vex, smooth.  Great  Oolite,  England.  N.  HEMISPH^IRICA,  Romer. 
(Struct,  and  Syst.  Conch.,  t.  78,  f.  64). 

Subgenus  ONCOCHILUS,  Petho.  1882. 

Shell  smooth,  columelhir  area  covered  by  a  swollen,  thick  callos- 
ity, the  margin  smooth  or  with  two  or  three  small  teeth ;  outer  lip 
sharp,  smooth  within.  Triassic,  Jurassic.  N.  GLOBULOSUS,  Klip- 
stein. 

Genus  DEJANIRA,  Stoliczka.  1860. 

Shell  subglobose,  consisting  of  a  few  whorls,  the  last  one  large, 
spirally  grooved,  often  carinated  posteriorly ;  aperture  large,  sub- 
trigonal  or  oval-elongated,  columellar  lip  callous,  having  three  large 
plications,  outer  lip  sharp.  Operculum  calcareous,  inner  margin 
sinuous,  with  groove  corresponding  with  columellar  plication,  inner 
face  with  an  obtuse  claviform  apophysis. 

Lacustrine  Cretaceous  of  Europe.  D.  BICARINATA,  Stol.  (Struct. 
and  Syst.  Conch.,  t.  78,  figs.  57,  58). 

Leymeria,  Munier-Ch almas.  1884,  is  a  synonym. 

Genus  NAVICELLA,  Lamark.  1809. 

Shell  imperforate,  oblong,  smooth,  limpet-like  with  a  posterior, 
submarginal  apex,  clothed  with  u  corneous  epidermis,  often  eroded 


10  NERITID^E. 

at  the  apex ;  aperture  large,  basal,  with  a  small,  not  dentate  col- 
umellar  shelf,  and  elongated  lateral  muscular  scars.  Operculum 
much  smaller  than  the  aperture,  irregularly  subtetragonal ;  labral 
margin  subcartilaginous ;  columellar  margin  sinuous,  partly  bor- 
dered by  a  parietal  apophysis,  projecting  at  its  extremity ;  apex 
vernacularly  granulated  on  the  inner  face,  with  a  few  radiating 
stride  on  both  faces  (PI.  1,  figs.  11,  12). 

Head  large,  eyes  on  long  peduncles,  foot  large,  regularly  oval, 
attached  on  each  side  to  the  visceral  mass,  forming  a  cavity  open 
behind,  in  which  the  operculum  is  partly  buried.  Dentition,  PL  1 , 
fig.  2. 

The  species,  about  fifty  in  number,  are  exclusively  East  Indian 
and  Polynesian  in  distribution.  They  are  usually  found  on  the 
banks  of  rivers  adhering  to  floating  sticks  and  to  the  petioles  and 
roots  of  the  Nipah  palms  and  other  plants  that  live  near  the  water ; 
they  are  also  found  attached  to  smooth  stones. 

The  synonymy  includes  Septaria,  Fer.  1807,  which  has  priority, 
but  has  not  usually  found  acceptance,  Catillus  (Humphrey.  1797), 
Swainson.  1840. 

Section  CIMBER,  Montf.  1810. 

Apex  median,  usually  decorticated,  projecting  beyond  the  posterior 
margin.  K  PORCELLANA,  Linn. 

Dr.  Gray  has  characterized  three  sections  of  this  group,  under 
the  names  of  Laodia,  Elana,  and  Paria,  all  in  1867:  they. are  dis- 
tinguished partly  from  the  opercula,  partly  from  the  shells.  The 
former  are  so  variable  in  their  characters  that  they  afford  but 
slender  material  for  systematic  purposes.  The  following  may  per- 
haps be  maintained : 

Subsection  PARIA,  Gray.  1867. 

Septum  projecting,  and  truncated  in  the  middle.  N.  FREYCINETI, 
Recluz. 

Section  STENOPOMA,  Gray.  1867. 

Apex  median,  posterior,  submarginal,  entire;  shell  generally 
narrow.  N.  LINEATA,  Lam. 

Section  ELARA,  H.  and  A.  Adams.  1854. 

Apex  a  little  elevated  above  the  posterior  margin  and  laterally 
recurved.  N.  LAPEYROUSEI,  Kecluz. 

To  these  Gray  adds  a  group  Orthopoma,  1867,  characterized  by 
an  operculum  only,  the  shell  of  which  is  unknown. 


MACLUREIDJE.  11 

Genus  PILEOLUS  (Cookson),  Sowerby.  1823. 

Shell  limpet-like,  solid,  circular  or  elliptical  at  the  base,  convex, 
with  subcentral,  non-spiral  apex;  aperture  small,  semilunar;  col- 
umellar  septum  convex,  smooth  or  toothed,  peritreme  continuous. 
Operculum  unknown.  Fossil;  Jurassic  to  Cretaceous.  P.  PLICA- 
TUS,  Sowb. 

Subgenus  GARGANIA,  Guiscardi.  1856. 

Apex  elevated,  inclined  backwards  beyond  the  peritreme,  surface 
radiately  ribbed ;  lip  with  a  central,  internal  depression.  Creta- 
ceous. G.  BROCCHII,  Guiscardi. 


FAMILY  MACLUREID^E. 

Shell  discoidal,  few  whorled,  longitudinally  grooved  at  the  back, 
and  slightly  rugose  with  growth-lines ;  dextral  side  convex,  deeply 
and  narrowly  perforated,  sinistral  side  Hat,  exposing  the  inner 
whorls.  Operculum  calcareous,  solid,  sinistrally  subspiral,  with 
two  internal  apophyses,  one  of  them  beneath  the  nucleus,  very  thick 
and  rugose. 

Genus  MACLUREA,  Lesueur,  em.  1818. 

The  characters  are  those  of  the  family,  of  which  this  is  the  sole 
genus.  A  dozen  palaeozoic  species  from  North  America  and  Scotland 
have  been  described.  M.  LOGANI,  Salter.  (Struct,  and  Syst.  Conch., 
t.  82,  f.  8,  9)  ;  M.  MAGNA,  Lesueur.  (Ibid,  t.  65,  f.  10). 

Conchologists  have  been  at  a  loss  where  to  place  this  singular 
genus ;  according  to  some  it  has  been  included  in  Solariidse ;  others 
have  placed  it  in  Pleurotomariidse  and  in  Atlantidse.  In  my  "Struc- 
tural and  Systematic  Conchology"  I  have  given  it  a  position  be- 
tween Bellerophontidne  and  Haliotidre.  I  think  that  Dr.  Fischer's 
removal  of  the  group  to  the  vicinity  of  Neritidse,  on  account  of  the 
apophyses  of  the  operculum,  is  a  happy  idea  of  that  learned  con- 
chologist.

FAMILY  NERITOPSID^E. 

Animal  with  large  head,  and  distant,  elongated  tentacles,  the 
eyes  on  short  peduncles  at  the  exterior  -base,  buccal  orifice  plicate, 
foot  obtuse  at  either  extremity,  operculigerous  disk  surrounding  the 
operculum,  columellar  muscle  forming  a  ring  interrupted  above, 
mantle-margin  thickened  and  papillary.  Dentition,  8*l'(2-f-0-|-2)*l*8, 
PLl,fig.l. 

Shell  imperforate,  neritiform,  solid,  columellar  lip  not  dentate,  the 
margin  with  a  sinus  in  the  middle.  Operculum  thick,  calcareous, 
symmetrical,  not  spiral,  with  lateral,  median  nucleus,  the  exterior 
face  convex,  the  interior  face  divided  into  two  unequal  parts,  the 
columellar  margin  with  a  median  appendage. 

Fossil  opercula  of  this  family,  occurring  frequently  without  the 
shell,  were  long  objects  of  doubt  to  scientists,  and  have  received  the 
names  of  Peltarion,  Deslongchamps.  1858  (PI.  1,  figs.  5,  6),  Sca- 
phanidea  and  Cyclidea,  Rolle.  1862,  and  Hypodema,  Koninck.  1853. 
They  have  been  supposed  to  be  the  beak  of  a  cephalopod,  a  valve 
of  a  brachiopod  or  of  a  chiton,  and  an  operculum  of  the  polyp 
Calceola. 

Genus  NERITOPSIS,  Grateloup.  1832. 

General  characters  those  of  the  family.  Shell  white,  cancellated 
by  spiral  and  longitudinal  ridges  and  striae.  Operculum  having  on 
its  exterior  face  and  columellar  margin  a  large  truncate  appendage, 
interior  face  depressed,  with  a  labral,  semilunar,  smooth  part,  and 
a  striate  columellar  part,  with  a  pit  on  either  side  of  it.  (PI.  1,  figs. 
7,  8).  Radula,  Gray,  1840,  is  a  synonym.  East  Indies,  Polynesia.

callous,  more  or  less  flattened,  sometimes  minutely  tuberculated  or 
transversely  plicate,  lip  sharp  (PL  1,  fig.  17).  Operculum  something 
like  Neritopsis,  with  convex  exterior  face,  the  interior  face  un- 
equally two-parted,  one  part  smooth,  the  other  rugose,  no  appen- 
dage on  the  columellar  margin  (PL  1,  figs.  13,  14). 
Devonian-Triassic. 

Europe,  India. 

I  included  this  group  in  Naticidse  (Vol.  viii,  8) ;  the  operculum, 
however,  shows  it  to  be  a  member  of  the  present  group.  Nerito-

18  XERITA. 

FAMILY  NERITID^. 
Genus  XERITA,  Adanson.  1757. 

Dr.  vou  Martens,  in  the  preface  to  his  monograph  of  Xerita,  now 
in  course  of  publication,  thus  divides  the  genus  into  groups,  which 
he  considers  "  more  or  less  natural,"  whilst  not  so  sharply  distin- 
guished one  from  another  as  the  similar  divisions  of  Xeritina.  I 
find  the  older  and  more  simple  divisions  which  I  have  adopted  full 
of  difficulties  to  the  systematist,  which  would  be  much  increased  by 
a  more  elaborate  system.  It  is  noticeable  that  Dr.  von  Martens 
has  not  arranged  his  own  monograph  by  the  system  he  proposes. 
His  groups  are  :— 

1.  THELIOSTYLA,    Morch.     Whorls   flattened,    strongly    ribbed, 
columellar  area  granular,  the  marginal  teeth  mostly  small.     Oper- 
culum  granular.     X.  TEXTILIS.     Natere,  Gray,  is  a  synonym. 

2.  CYMOSTYLA,   Martens.      With    weaker    spiral    ribs,   whorls 
rounder,  columellar  area  with  parallel  plications,  the  teeth  stronger. 
Operculum  granular.     X.  UXDATA.     Pila,  Mo'rch,  in  part,  but  not 
Pila,  Klein. 

3.  PILA,  Klein.     Shell  bullet-shaped,  with  strong  rounded  spiral 
ribs,   and  strong  columellar  teeth.      Operculum  concave,  weakly 
granular  or  smooth.      X.    PLICATA.     Ritena,   Gray,    and    Tenare, 
Troschel  (not  Gray),  are  synonyms. 

4.  TEXARE,  Gray.     Teeth  of  the  interior  of  the  outer  lip  vanish- 
ing.    Operculum  smooth,  with  polished  marginal  zone. 

a.  PELORONTA,  Troschel.  With  weak  spiral  ribs.  Marginal 
zone  of  the  operculum  swollen,  distinct.  X.  PELOROXTA. 

6.  ILYXERITA,  Martens.  Spiral  sculpture  stronger,  teeth  of  the 
mouth  weaker.  Operculum  with  scarcely  developed  marginal  zone. 
X.  PLAXOSPIRA. 

5.  XERITA  (restricted).   Spiral  sculpture  weak  or  wanting,  colum- 
ellar area  swollen,  smooth.     Operculum  flat,  with  ribbed  margin. 
X.  POLITA.      Odontostoma,  Morch  (in  part),  is  a  synonym. 

6.  AMPHIXERITA,  Martens.     Shell  as  in  preceding  group.     Oper- 
culum granular.     X.  UM  LA  A  si  ANA,  X.  SEXEGALEXSIS,  etc. 

7.  HEMIXERITA,  Martens.     Outer  lip  not  toothed,  columellar 
margin    likewise   toothless.     Operculum   with    strongly   developed 
skinny  projection  on  its  convex  margin.     X.  PICA.     This  group  is 
the  most  nearly  related  to  Xeritina.

let  in  each,  the  ribs  blackish  or  obscurely  maculated,  the  sulci  grey- 
ish or  yellowish  grey,  with  zigzag  black  stripes;  aperture  white, 
the  columellar  area,  including  the  raised  border,  covered  by  very 
numerous  small  granulations.  Diam.  30-35  mill.

It  is  N.  Malaccensis,  Lam.  JV.  chlorostoma,  Lam.,  which  I  have

of  both,  but  its  exterior  ornamentation  is,  I  think,  decidedly  that 
of  N.  ple.ra.

however,  all  shown  not  infrequently  by  occasional  West  Indian

Sometimes  the  ribs  are  more  numerous  by  their  division,  and  by 
the  interpolation  of  smaller  intermediate  ones.  The  species  is  also 
subject  to  erosion  in  such  manner  that  the  black  markings  become 
elevated  and  the  ribs  obliterated,  in  this  condition  becoming  X- 
exarata,  Pfr.  Other  synonyms  are  N.  varia  (Meusch.),  Morch,  X.

Australia,  New  Zealand,  etc. 

Reeve  figured  this  species  for  the  N.  atrata,  Chemnitz — which  it 
probably  is  not,  and  on  this  account  von  Martens  preferred  for  it 
the  name  N.  pundata,  Quoy — which  it  ertainly  is  not,  whilst 
Hutton  imposed  the  name  of  N.  saturata,  and  E.  A.  Smith  that  of 
N.  melanotragus,  both  in  1884,  with  a  probable  priority  of  publica- 
tion of  the  former  name.  Watson  (Voy.  Challenger,  xv,  132)  reviews 
the  whole  subject,  preferring  tho  name  N.  pun  data.  Inasmuch  as 
Chemnitz  was  not  binomial  and  therefore  not  entitled  to  quotation, 
and  his  figures  and  description  are  neither  of  them  sufficient  for 
identification,  whilst  they  indicate  that  at  least  two  species  were 
confounded  by  him,  I  think  it  preferable  to  treat  him  as  non-existent, 
and  quote  Reeve ;  especially  as  he  has  been  followed  by  others,  so 
that  his  atrata  has  become  well-known.  N.  nigra,  Gray  (who  quotes 
Quoy)  in  "Dieffenbach's  New7  Zealand"  has  been  cited  by  authors  as 
applying  to  the  present  species,  but  the  name  is  not  accepted  by 
them  on  account  of  the  prior  N.  nigra,  Chernn.  They  show  that 
Quoy  never  described  a  N.  nigra,  but  then  neither  did  Gray ;  he 
merely  mentioned  the  name  in  his  above  list,  and  it  is  impossible  to 
determine  what  species  he  may  have  intended.  Finally,  different 
as  this  species  is  from  N.  nigerrima,  Chemn.,  in  its  form  and  absence 
of  columellar  granulations— actually  a  group  distinction,  I  have  never- 
theless some  suspicion  that  it  is  only  a  variety  of  it,  and  that  it 
connects  that  species  with  N.  morio,  which,  on  account  of  its  smooth 
inner  surface  of  the  lip  belongs  to  still  another  group.  In  my 
saner  moments  I  am  well-aware  that  such  vagaries  of  conjecture 
are  simply  the  demoralizing  result  of  the  questionable  questioning 
which  has  largely  supplanted  the  questionless  faith  of  the  last 
generation  of  conchologists.

The  above  may  be  regarded  as  the  typical  system  of  coloration 
in  a  species  varying  much  in  this  respect.  It  has,  under  different 
aspects  received  a  number  of  names,  several  of  which  I  retain  as 
varietal,  not  so  much  because  of  intrinsic  value  as  for  mere  con- 
venience, these  several  forms  having  been  heretofore  recognized  as

The  type  was  a  juvenile;  and  N.  oleagina,  Reeve  (figs.  96,  97) 
is  a  synonym.

Black,  with  scattered  white  or  yellowish  white  spots  on  the  ribs, 
aperture  tinged  with  yellow. 

New  Caledonia  to  Central  Polynesia. 

The  ribs  vary  in  number  and  development,  and  are  often  irregular 
in  size  on  the  same  specimen.  Some  collectors  have  confounded  it 
with  the  West  American  N.  scabricosta,  but  that  species  is  larger 
and  more  compressed  and  rounded  and  generally  more  rugose. 
Probably  N.  punctata,  Quoy  and  Gaimard  (PI.  7,  fig.  30)  is  identical.

scabrous  longitudinal  strire,  dark  greyish  or  black,  more  or  less 
maculated  or  spotted  with  orange  brown,  occasionally  irregularly 
banded  with  the  latter;  lip  black-margined,  numerously  toothed 
within,  with  larger  teeth  at  the  extremities,  columellar  teeth  very 
strong  and  prominent,  the  area  deeply  plicate,  with  a  perpendicular 
series  of  three  tubercles  below,  sometimes  confluent  or  obsolete.

N.  Desliayesii,  Recluz  (fig.  66),  and  X.  miiltijugis,  Menke.  I  retain 
Lamarck,'s  name  for  this  species  although  the  identification  is  some- 
what doubtful,  Delessert  figuring  a  N.  costata  for  it;  and  I  do  this 
because  in  the  United  States  the  species  has  been  usually  so  designa- 
ted. Dr.  von  Martens  calls  it  JV.  ornata,  Sovverby,  a  name  published 
about  the  name  date.  The  scabrous  surface  and  compressed  rounded 
form  well  distinguish  the  sj>ecies.

The  immense  variation  of  coloring  in  this  beautiful  species  has 
been  the  cause  of  a  considerable  duplication  of  specific  names.  I 
give  examples  showing  the  usual  as  well  as  some  of  the  rarer

was  described  as  from  Panama,  where  it  is  believed  no  such  species 
exists.  Sowerby's  figure  shows  some  reddish  zones  alternating  with 
olivaceous,  which  are  not  present  in  specimens  of  pulchra  received 
from  Sowerby  as  from  Panama,  but  of  a  number  of  specimens  of 
variegata  from  the  Viti  Islands,  collected  by  Mr.  Garrett,  two  have

lating radiating  black  stripes;  aperture  bluish  white,  columella 
often  tinged  yellowish-brown.  Diam.  20  mill. 

East  Indies,  Polynesia. 

According  to  the  relative  thickness  of  the  stripes  and  interspaces 
the  pattern  sometimes  appears  to  be  black  on  an  olivaceous  ground, 
at  others  olivaceous  on  a  black  ground.  Originally  identified  with 
X.  ziczac,  Lam.,  but  is  not  that  species ;  yet,  as  it  has  become  well- 
known  under  that  name,  I  have  not  deemed  it  advisable  to  adopt 
another  for  it,  as  Martens  has  done.  The  synonyms  are  X.  strigil- 
lata  (Lam.),  Recluz,  X.  aquatilis,  Reeve  (fig.  100),  X.  Jovis,  Reel,

which  the  olive  color  is  replaced  by  orange  brown.

I  find  no  characters  by  which  to  distinguish  this  from  varieties 
of  .V.  ziczac,  unless  it  be  by  the  less  angulated  pattern  of  the  stripes 
and  their  greater  width  ;  moreover,  I  know  of  no  such  American 
form,  and  I  cannot  help  thinking  that,  at  least  as  to  some  of  the 
identifications,  the  mistake  has  been  made  of  confounding  with  it 
varieties  of  N.  reclivata  and  N.  virginea.  Entirely  similar  shells

38  NERITINA. 

N.  fimbria,  Meusch.,  is  a  synonym.  Von  Martens  and  others 
consider  N.  scmiconica  a  variety  of  N.  turrita,  but  it  appears  to  me 
to  have  the  characters  of  a  distinct  species.

tinted.  Length,  16-20  mill. 

Australia  to  Central  Polynesia. 

Shaped  like  a  N.  turrita  in  miniature,  but  with  the  broad  stripes 
of  that  species  replaced  by  very  close  zigzag  lines.  The  synonyms

N.  lineolata,  Lam.,  is  now  supposed  to  be  identical,  and  according 
to  printed  dates  of  publication  has  three  months'  priority ;  but  con- 
ceding this,  it  would  still  be  of  very  questionable  advantage  to 
science  to  substitute  a  name  which  has  been  variously  identified  for 
one  the  application  of  which  has  never  been  doubted,  and  so  has 
become  well-known.  JV.  zigzag  of  Lam.,  not  authors,  has  also  been 
referred  here.  Other  synonyms  are  N.  microstoma,  d'Orb.,  N 
grams,  Shuttl.  and  Morelet,  ^Y.  olivacea,  Wiegm.,  and  var.  conoidalis, 
Martens,  for  the  conical,  lineolate  form  with  parallel  strigations;  N 
reticulata,  Cristofori  and  Jan,  for  the  specimens  with  reticulated 
pattern;  and  N.  striolata,  Recluz  (fig.  28),  N.  Floridana,  Shuttle w.

colored  lines,  either  extending  across  the  entire  surface  or  inter- 
rupted so  as*to  form  spiral  zones,  upon  this  surface  of  close  lines  are 
placed  miscellaneously  numbers  of  subtriangular  spots  of  the  ground 
color  of  the  shell,  sometimes  covering  it  entirely,  at  other  times 
forming  spiral  bands  of  large  spots,  with  smaller  intermediate  ones.

West  Indies  to  Brazil. 

I  have  figured  some  of  the  common  as  well  as  the  more  striking

are  two  or  three  patterns  of  coloring  which  are  much  more  common 
than  the  others,  yet  which  cannot  be  called  varietal ;  they  are  1st, 
whitish  violaceous,  covered  by  close  violet  lines  upon  which  are 
triangular  spots ;  2d,  a  similar  pattern,  but  the  colors  light  and 
dark  olivaceous ;  3d,  light  sage  green,  with  darker  lines,  but  almo.st 
covered  over  by  the  spots  which  are  arranged  somewhat  as  on  a

Indian  Ocean  to  Polynesia. 

A  widely  distributed  species,  which  closely  mimics  the  West 
Indian  N.  virginea.  Like  that  species,  it  inhabits  both  brackish 
water  and  the  ocean,  and  it  is  equally  variable  in  its  markings.  It 
is  perhaps  less  conical,  as  a  rule,  smaller,  its  columellar  area  is  more 
yellowish  and  flatter.  The  operculum  differs  somewhat  from  that 
of  N.  virginea,  the  rib  and  apophyses  are  well-developed,  nearly 
equally  large,  with  a  connecting  band  almost  equally  elevated.

I  have  included  in  the  above  description  forms  heretofore  re- 
garded as  distinct,  but  which  do  not  appear  to  possess  permanent 
differential  characters.  The  principal  mark  of  this  species  is  the 
presence  of  spiral  sculpture,  but  I  have  before  me  specimens  in 
which  this  is  partially  obsolete,  suggesting  very  strongly  a  connec- 
tion with  X.  dubia.  The  typical  N.  cornea  embraces  the  smaller 
forms,  with  less  developed  sculpture,  columellar  area  yellowish,  be- 
coming deeper,  orange  or  blackish  on  the  outer  edge,  the  margin 
edentulate.  Here  may  be  placed  as  synonyms  N.  amphibia  and  X.

This  common  European  species  is  widely  distributed  in  fresh 
water,  its  normal  habitat,  and  occurs  also  in  thermal  and  salt 
springs,  in  brackish  and  even  in  sea  water.  Its  distinguishing 
character  is  its  transverse  form  ;  the  colors  vary  considerably,  but 
the  pattern  is  usually  either  transverse,  nebulous  light  spots  and 
streaks  on  a  dark  ground,  or  oblique  dark  zigzags  on  a  light  ground, 
the  difference  of  appearance  being  due  to  the  greater  or  less  thick- 
ness and  frequency  of  the  dark  markings.  Fig.  15  represents  a 
form  from  a  salt  stream;  fig.  16  is  a  marine  form  from  the  Baltic

Several  specimens  were  obtained,  all  without  the  operculum.  It 
has  been  suggested  that  this  is  a  young  Anculosa,  but  it  has  not 
the  characters  of  that  group ;  on  the  contrary,  it  more  nearly  ap- 
proaches in  general  Neritina  crepidularia.  The  coloring  of  the 
epidermis  more  nearly  resembles  Anculosa  however,  than  the  other 
fluviatile  species  of  Neritina.

I  think  it  not  unlikely  that  this  form  will  prove  to  be  only  a 
color  variety  of  X.  pulligera,  from  which  it  is  distinguished  mainly 
by  its  lighter  color  and  more  prominent  and  diversified  markings. 
Like  that  species  it  has  its  varieties  depending  upon  the  appression 
or  erection  of  the  sutural  edge,  color  of  interior,  etc ;  and  as  in  that 
species,  so  far  as  these  differences  have  caused  separate  names  to  be 
given  them,  I  have  treated  them  as  varieties-simply  for  convenience.

West  Indies,  Central  America,  New  Grenada,  Bay  of  Montija,

Probably  inhabits  the  sea  as  well  as  fresh  water;  some  of  the 
-specimens  have  the  spire  extensively  eroded.  The  distribution  on 
both  shores  of  the  American  continent  is  singular,  but  is  well- 
established.  The  species  need  not  be  confounded  with  N.  virginea, 
Linn.,  as  has  been  done;  in  its  spire-enveloping  body  whorl  and 
other  characters  it  is  very  distinct  from  that  species,  and  completely 
indemnified  with  the  present  group.

bably be  added  N.  Bahiensis,  Recluz  (fig.  40),  from  Brazil,  and

When  the  spines  are  developed,  as  they  usually  are,  there  is  no 
difficulty  in  determining  these  shells;  but  occasionally  the  same 
species  is  spineless,  and  even  some  of  the  species  referred  here 
appear  to  never  develope  spines,  in  which  cases  they  are  only 
separable  from  Clypeolum  by  the  characters  of  the  operculum.

lighter  colored  specimens  often  with  black  lines  and  bands,  surface 
plicately  rugose,  with  a  series  of  long,  cylindrical  spines  on  the 
shoulder;  aperture  bluish  white,  showing  the  exterior  bands,  colu- 
mellar area  flattened,  smooth,  usually  whitish  or  posteriorly  tinged 
with  yellow,  terminated  by  a  distinct  rounded  line,  margin  incurved

Gulf  of  Siam,  China,  Japan,  Philippines. 

Great  as  is  the  typical  difference  between  this  species  and  N.

Western  part  of  the  Indian  Archipelago,  Singapore,  etc. 

My  only  specimens  of  this  species,  types  from  its  author,  strongly

olivaceous  somewhat  anastomosing  longitudinal  lines,  often  interrupt- 
ed partially,  to  form  lighter  colored  spiral  bands,  young  shells 
frequently  and  old  ones  occasionally  with  several  short  spines  above; 
aperture  bluish  or  yellowish,  the  columellar  margin  dentate  nearly 
throughout,  with  stronger  teeth  at  the  extremities  of  a  central  sinus, 
area  subrugose  and  minutely  punctate,  usually  tinged  with  bluish 
black  behind ;  often  the  base  of  the  shell  has  a  jet-black  fasciole. 

Diam.  9-16  mill. 

Philippines;  New  Caledonia. 

Von  Martens  considered  the  species  of  Recluz  a  synonym  of  JV. 
avellana;  on  the  contrary  it  appears  to  possess  all  the  characters  of 
the  more  recently  named  New  Caledonian  N.  nucleolus,  Morelet, 
(fig.  63).  N.  plicata,  and  N.  Pazii,  Gassies,  and  var.  spinifera, 
Martens  are  synonyms..  The  unfigured  N.  costulata  and  N.  Artensis 
of  Gassies,  likewise  New  Caledonian,  are  probably  to  be  added.

N.  RARISPINA,  Mousson.     PL  25,  figs.  65,  66.

bluish,  columellar  area  rather  narrow,  plane,  margin  with  a  dentate 
median  sinus.  Diam.  6-9  mill. 

Java. 

According  as  the  shell  is  with  or  without  spines,  Mousson  has 
made  varieties  spinosa  and  destituta, — which,  of  course,  have  no 
varietal  value.  The  species  itself  has  not  been  identified. 

N.  TRITONENSIS,  Guillou.     PI.  25,  fig.  61. 

Greenish,  with  arcuate  longitudinal  yellowish  lines,  spire  entirely 
eroded,  flat;  aperture  oblique,  with  a  rather  narrow,  flat  area,  its 
margin  subarcuate,  uriidentate,  lip  rounded,  depressed  above. 

Triton  Bay,  New  Guinea. 

The  above  is  a  copy  of  the  original  description — which  was  not 
illustrated.  The  figure  is  from  Reeve,  and  I  cannot  believe  that  it 
pertains  to  the  same  species ;  it  looks  more  like  N.  chlorostoma,  Brod. 

N.  BICOLOR,  Reel.     PI.  25,  figs.  68,  67,  69;  PI.  26,  fig.  75. 

Shell  plicate-striate,  the  body  whorl  enveloping  the  spire,  some- 
what shining,  closely  finely  strigate  with  alternate  yellowish  and 
olivaceous  green,  sometimes  minutely  punctate  with  the  lighter  color 
upon  the  darker,  as  though  serrating  the  margins  of  the  strigations; 
aperture  bluish  white,  columellar  area  flattened,  subrugose,  margin 
slightly  incurved  and  faintly  dentate  in  the  middle,  the  curve  boun- 
ded by  a  stronger  tooth  above.  Diam.  15-27  mill.

X.  rugata,  Souleyet,  N.  rugosa,  Bush,  N.  punctifera,  Mousson,  and 
varieties  glandiformis,  Molluccensis  and  tricolor  of  Martens — the 
latter  with  reddish  brown  rugse  and  a  basal  zone  of  the  same,  with 
elongate  triangular  diaphanous  yellowish  maculations.  I  have  not 
seen  this  variety,  nor  has  it  been  figured  except  a  section  showing 
coloring,  but  I  can  scarcely  believe  it  to  belong  here — the  pattern 
is  more  like  N.  avellana.  Finally  in  N.  Wallisii,  Mousson  (fig.  75) 
=N.  rugata,  Gallies,  we  have  a  sparsely  spinose  form  which  appears 
to  connect  very  closely  with  the  spinose  form  of  the  next  species.

=X.  dolium,  Rve.,  (fig.  72).  I  suspect  that  this  will,  after  all,  prove 
a  smooth  form  of  N.  bicolor,  Recluz.  Mousson  has  described  a  var.

In  the  diagnosis  of  this  group  (p.  8),  the  columelhir  margin  is 
stated  to  be  edentulous,  but  this  is  in  fact,  only  occasionally  the  case  ;

In  young  specimens  the  wings  are  often  not  developed,  and  then 
the  shell  would  scarcely  be  taken  for  a  member  of  this  group.  Von 
Martens  changes  the  name  to  N.  Sandwichensis,  Desh.  because  he 
thinks  that  Gray's  figure  should  be  referred  to  N.  Mauritii,  *Lesson  ;

Genus  NAVICELLA,  Lam.,  1809. 
Section  CIMBER,  Montfort,  1810. 

The  shells  of  the  Navicellse  are  modified  in  form  and  convexity 
according  to  the  nature  of  the  surface  to  which  they  adhere ;  thus 
the  form  called  N.  lineata,  is  a  N.  tessellata,  higher  and  laterally 
compressed  from  inhabiting  the  stems  of  sea- weed,  whilst  the  typical 
N.  tessellata  is  from  surfaces  giving  the  shell  a  chance  to  spread ;  so 


78  NAVICELLA. 

also  the  projection  of  the  apex  varies  so  that  it  may  reasonably  be 
considered  as  effected  by  environment;  again,  the  central  projection  of 
the  septum,  usually  conspicuous  in  N.  Freycineti,  is  sometimes  want- 
ing in  that  species,  whilst  it  occasionally  occurs  in  others.  Thus  the 
sectional  characters  (made  subgeneric  by  Messrs.  Adams),  insensibly 
coalesce.  As  to  coloring,  certain  patterns  have  been  regarded  as 
characteristic  of  species,  but  there  appear  to  be  no  breaks  in  the 
modifications  by  which  most  of  the  species  may  be  connected. 

In  the  interest  of  scientists  (and  so,  perhaps,  of  science)  it  becomes 
necessary  to  set  up  some  arbitrary  landmarks,  be  they  varieties, 
species  or  sections,  it  matters  not,  for  the  recognition  of  certain 
stages-  of  the  variations  else  in  unbroken  progresssion,  and  to  these 
stages  the  names  given  by  naturalists  at  a  time  when  species  were 
entities  have  been  applied.  This  task  Dr.  von  Martens  has  per- 
formed as  well  as  his  opportunities,  learning  and  experienced  judg- 
ment permitted :  if  I  have  succeeded  in  making  any  improvement, 
it  is  due  to  having  his  work  as  a  foundation.

Rather  convex,  apex  small,  somewhat  attenuated,  produced  be-

unicolored  to  light  olivaceous  brown,  or  tinged  with  purple  and 
marked  with  radiating  reticulations,  interior  bluish  or  blackish, 
the  posterior  margin  usually  with  a  long  black  stain  on  either  side.

pressa,  Martens  =  N.  affinis,  Reeve  (fig.  8).  I  do  not  separate  as 
such  the  two  varieties  given  by  Dr.  von  Martens,  because  such  forms 
occur  in  all  the  species  and  are  the  result  of  station  upon  the  growth  of 
the  individual.  The  black  markings  which  Reeve  has  commemorated 
in  his  name  bimaculata  are  very  usually,  but  not  always  present,  and 
unfortunately  occur  in  other  species.  A  more  depressed  form  has 
been  treated  by  von  Martens  as  a  distinct  species,  but  seems  to  con- 
nect insensibly  with  Borbonica-,  it  is  called  N.  depressa,  Lesson, 
(figs.  10,  11),  and  N.  zebra,  Lesson,  N.  haustrum,  Reeve  (fig.  12)  and

its  var.  fissa,  Mousson,  N.  hupeana,  Gassies  and  N.  affinis,  Mousson 
are  referred  to  it  as  synonyms.  It  occurs  from  New  Caledonia  to 
Tahiti. 

Both  N.  borbonica  and  the  form  depressa  have  been  referred  to 
N.  porcellana,  Linn.,  but  that  species,  devoid  of  epidermis,  must  re- 
ii in  in  unrecognizable. 

Morelet  has  figured  (Jour,  de  Conch.,  Oct.  1887)  a  color  variety

(PL  28,  figs.  23,  24),  from  the  Malay  Archipelago  appears  to 
have  no  distinctive  character,  except  its  much  smaller  size :  I  think 
it  is  identical.

The  insufficient  distinction  of  this  species  rests  on  the  fineness  of 
its  reticulating  dark  lines.     N.  crepidaloides,  Reeve  (PL  28,  fig.  20),

Von  Martens  unites  this  species  with  X  tessellata^  Lam.,  and  I 
have  no  doubt  that  he  is  correct,  but  the  latter  might  with  equal 
propriety  be  united  with  X  sub  orbicular  is,  etc. :  in  fact,  the  charac- 
ters in  this  group  anastomose  in  every  direction.

described  as  differing  from  Icevis  in  the  regularity  of  its  keels,  also 
appears  to  belong  here,  for  the  keels  are  very  irregularly  developed 
in  number,  prominence  ana  spacing;  it  was  described  from  a  single

"  The  above  is  the  normal  condition  of  the  species  ;  but  examples 
occur  which  are  thinner  and  have  a  greater  number  of  keels,  some- 
times as  many  as  seven  or  eight.  At  first  I  was  inclined  to  regard 
the  many-keeled  variety  as  specifically  distinct;  but  on  the  examina- 
tion of  a  large  series  by  Professor  Tate,  he  assures  me  that  the 
number  of  keels  varies  so  greatly  that  it  would  be  impossible  to 
separate  them.  The  thin  hyaline  examples  with  many  keels  are* 
probably  younger  shells."

several  species  herein  described,  and  which  are  principally  distin- 
guished by  the  number  of  revolving  riblets  will  need  to  be  suppressed  : 
that  of  the  inconoclast  himself  will  be  deservedly  lost  in  the  general

As  stated  under  the  generic  description,  this  is  probably  a  group 
of  heterogeneous  shells,  many  of  which  might  be  referred  to  other 
genera.  The  resemblance  of  the  following  species  described  by 
Garrett  to  Cyclostrema  and  Daronia  is  striking.

Unfigured  Species. 

Neither  Adams  nor  Carpenter  figured  any  of  the  numerous  species 
described  by  them.  I  have  been  able  to  illustrate  a  few  of  the 
species  of  both  authors,  by  drawings  from  authentic  specimens;  many 


VITRINKLLA-TKINOSTOMA.  103 

of  the  others  might  be  identified  in  the  type  collections  of  these 
authors,  but  the  labor  and  expense  attending  such  an  investigation 
would  scarcely  be  repaid  by  the  result.  The  paucity  of  material 
and  minuteness  of  the  species  must  prevent  satisfactory  conclusions, 
most  of  the  descriptions  being  based  upon  dead  specimens,  unique 
or  few  in  number.

Port  Jackson,  Australia. 

Notwithstanding  some  differences  in  the  descriptions,  I  think  this 
will  prove  synonymous  with  the  preceding  species. 

L.  Goivllandi,  Brazier  (figs.  7,  8)  appears  to  me  to  be  synomymous, 
judging  from  description  and  figure.  Mr.  Brazier  states  that  it  ap- 
proaches closely  to  L.  speciosa,  but  does  not  give  distinctive  charac- 
ters. It  conies  from  Percy  Isl.,  N.  E.  coast  of  Australia.

ous  intersections,  suture  deeply  channeled,- umbilicus  very  wide, 
perspective. 

Philippines. 

The  peculiarity  of  the  species  is  its  star-like  projection  of  tubercles 
on  the  periphery  of  the  whorls.  The  figure  is  enlarged,  and  dimen- 
sions not  given.

VOL.  X,  PART  SECOND. 


MONOGRAPHS  OF  THE  TURBINIDJE  AND 
TROCHIDJE, 

BY  H.  A.  PILSBRY, 

Conservator  of  the  Conchological  Section,  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences 
of  Philadelphia. 


FAMILY  TURBINID^E. 

Animal  with  an  oval,  broad  or  narrow  foot,  truncated  anteriorly ; 
rostrum  rather  short,  truncate;  tentacles  long,  slender,  cylindrical, 
the  eyes  on  peduncles  at  their  exterior  bases.  Across  the  front  of  the 
head,  between  the  tentacles  extends  the  more  or  less  developed 
"veil" ;  and  from  a  point  below  the  tentacles,  a  fleshy  ridge,  the 
"epipodial  line"  extends  backward  parallel  with  the  margins  of  the 
foot,  and  bearing  usually  several  slender  cirrhi  on  either  side. 

Radula  rhipidoglossate,  usually  with  the  formula  co  '5'1'5'ao  ,  but 
sometimes  lacking  the  median  and  one  outer  lateral  tooth.  The 
lateral  teeth  are  all  of  nearly  the  same  form ;  so  that  a  transverse 
row  of  teeth  shows  only  three  distinct  forms.  Jaws  usually  present. 

Shell  turbinate  or  trochiform,  generally  solid,  smooth  or  rugulose; 
aperture  circular,  oval  or  subtetragonal ;  peristome  simple.  Oper- 
culum  calcareous,  heavy,  flat  or  concave  with  a  thin  corneous  layer 
internally,  convex  and  calcareous  externally,  the  nucleus  multispiral 
and  either  subcentral  or  at  the  margin. 

The  nervous  system  is  chiastoneurous ;  ( i.  e.  the  viceral  nervous 
loop  surrounding  the  intestine  is  thrown  into  a  figure  8  form — the 
right  cord  passing  above  the  left — by  that  torsion  of  the  viceral  mass 
which  brings  the  outlet  of  the  digestive  tract  to  the  right  side  of  the 
neck.) 

The  Turbinidce  are  mostly  litoral  in  station,  and  inhabitants  of 
tropical  and  subtropical  seas.     They  are  herbivorous. 
11  (161) 


162  TURBINID^E. 

Dr.  Paul  Fischer,  in  his  excellent  Manuel  de  Conchyliologie,  divi- 
des the  Turbinidce  into  three  subfamilies,  denned  as  follows : 

"  I,  Phasianellince — shell  not  nacreous  ;  II,  Turbinince — shell  na- 
creous ;  outer  surface  of  operculum  with  few  whorls  ;  III,  Cyclonem- 
atince, — shell  nacreous,  outer  surface  of  operculum  conical,  elevated, 
scalariform,  with  very  numerous  whorls." 

The  last  group,  embracing  Oyclonema  Hall,  Oriostoma  Munier- 
Chalmas,  and  other  exclusively  fossil  genera  will  not  be  further 
considered  here. 

Contrary  to  the  usual  custom,  the  more  aberrant  subfamily,  Phas- 
ianellince, will  be  considered  before  taking  up  the  Turbinime ;  this 
course  being  less  objectionable  than  the  unnatural  sequence  of  groups 
which  would  result  from  interpolating  the  Phasianellae  between  the 
Turbines  and  the  Trochids. 

Subfamily  PHASIANELLIN^:. 

Shell  bulimiform  or  subglobose,  polished,  without  epidermis  or  na- 
cre, variegated  with  bright  colors;  operculum  heavy,  calcareous,  inter- 
nally paucispiral,  with  nucleus  near  the  basal  margin,  externally 
convex,  white;  animal  with  long  tentacles,  and  usually  pectinated 
head  lobes ;  epipodial  line  generally  with  cirrhi ;  branchial  plume 
long ;  foot  narrowr,  long,  pointed  posteriorly,  rounded  before,  below 
divided  longitudinally  by  a  median  groove;  jaws  rhomboidal,  cov- 
ered with  imbricating  scales.  Radula  rather  short ;  formula  of  teeth 
typically  QC  '5-1-51  oc,  but  sometimes  lacking  the  median  and  outer  lat- 
eral teeth. 

The  considerable  diversity  which  has  been  observed  in  the  denti- 
tion of  the  Phasianellince  renders  a  brief  review  of  our  knowledge  of 
that  organ  in  the  various  groups  desirable.  Unfortunately  the  soft 
parts  of  Eucosmia,  Chromotis  and  Alcyna  have  not  been  observed; 
and  I  have  been  unable  to  obtain  specimens  of  them  containing  the 
animal. 

Phasianella  (typical).  The  radula  of  P.  australis  has  been  figured 
by  Eberhard.  A  transverse  row  of  teeth  forms  a  WT-  shaped  line. 
The  median  tooth  is  wide,  oval,  a  simple  plate,  without  cusp,  over- 
lying the  bases  of  the  inner  laterals  ;  the  lateral  teeth  ("  Zwischen- 
platten  "  of  Troschel)  are  of  a  rhomboidal  form,  and  bear  well  de- 
veloped cusps  with  a  long  and  several  small  denticles ;  the  outer 
(fifth)  one  is  narrow ;  marginals  ("  Seitenplatfcen ")  with  long 
simple  cusps,  except  the  inner,  which  bears  accessory  small  denticles 


TURBINID^E.  163 

at  the  base  of  the  cusp.  (PI.  61,  fig.  1.)  It  is  desirable  that  ad- 
ditional specimens  be  examined. 

Tricolia,  The  type  species,  P.  speciosa,  has  a  broad  simple  median 
tooth,  overlying  the  bases  of  the  inner  laterals  ;  these  are  sub-rhom- 
boidal,  produced  at  their  outer  angles  into  wings  which  overlie  the 
bases  of  the  adjacent  tooth  outward,  and  have  denticulate  cusps. 
The  outer  lateral  is  narrow,  not  produced  on  the  outer  angle.  The 
marginal  teeth  have  long  simple  cusps,  (pi.  60,  fig.  72.)  Troschel 
has  figured  the  radulse  of  P.  pulla,  (pi.  61,  fig.  2.)  P.  Kochu  and 
P.  capensis,  all  agreeing  with  P.  speciosa..  The  following  also  I  have 
found  to  be  of  the  same  type;  P.  tennis,  P.umbilicata,  P.  compta, 
P.  affinis,  P.  fordiana.  The  jaws  of  the  latter  species  are  figured 
(pi.  60,  fig.  69).  Several  of  these  species  lack  the  outer  lateral  tooth, 
the  formula  being  oo*  4'  1.  '4'  oo . 

Orthomesiis.  In  this  group  the  median  tooth  is  reduced  to  a  lin- 
ear rudiment  or  wholly  absent.  The  lateral  teeth  are  of  a  squareish 
form,  their  outer  angles  scarcely  or  not  at  all  "  winged,"  and  but 
slightly  or  not  at  all  projecting  over  the  adjacent  tooth.  They  form 
straight  rows  across  the  middle  of  the  membrane,  not  V-shaped,  as 
in  the  preceding  groups.  In  the  typical  species,  P.  variegata,  the 
laterals  bear  long  cusps,  with  minute  spurs  at  their  bases ;  the  inner 
marginals  are  very  large,  with  enormous  cusps,  the  outer  ones  with 
long  denticulate  or  laciniate  cusps  (pi.  61,  figs.  3,  4.)  Troschel  fig- 
ures this  type  of  dentition  for  P.  variegata,  P.  flammulata,  Phil,  and 
P.  lineolata.  I  have  found  the  same  in  P.  nivosa  Rve.,  (=P.  varie- 
gata Lam.).  In  P.  virgo  Angas  (pi.  60,  fig.  70)  I  have  found  an  ex- 
tremely peculiar  and  interesting  modification  of  the  Orthomesm  type 
of  dentition.  The  two  inner  lateral  teeth  are  united  by  their  inner 
edges,  forming  a  pseudo-median  tooth ;  the  free  laterals  remaining 
are  three  in  number  on  either  side,  and  are  of  the  same  form  as  the 
one  shown  in  the  figure.  As  in  the  smaller  species  of  Tricolia,  the 
narrow  outer  (fifth)  lateral  has  evidently  been  lost.  The  marginals 
all  have  long  laciniate  cusps.  The  lateral  teeth  have  the  basal  plate 
projecting  at  the  upper  outer  angle,  forming  a  sort  of  hood,  which 
reminds  one. of  a  similar  structure  in  the  median  teeth  of  Littorina. 
This  "  hood,"  marked  a  in  the  figures,  is  probably  homologous  with 
the  similarly  marked  basal  plate  which  projects  above  the  cusps  in 
P.  variegata,  etc.  The  reduction  in  number  of  the  teeth  in  this  form 
is  probably  due  to  the  same  cause  which  has,  I  believe,  acted  in  the 
mure  minute  members  of  the  Pulmonata  and  other  groups  which 


164  PHASIANELLA. 

have  numerous  teeth  ;  if  the  individual  teeth  were  reduced  in  size  in 
the  proportion  that  the  shell  is,  they  would  be  too  minute  to  fulfil 
their  function  as  efficient  rasps. 

The  Phasianellince  have  been  monographed  by 

Philippi,  in  Kiister's  Conchy  lien  Cabinet,  1853. 

Reeve,  in  the  Conchologia  Iconica,  1862. 

Fischer,  in  Kiener's  Coquilles  Vivants,  1873. 

Sowerby,  in  the  Thesaurus  Conchyliorum,  1884. 

Philippi's  work  is  perhaps  the  best;  but  he  describes  many  species 
characterized  only  by   the    color-pattern.      Reeve   unites   all   the 
smaller  and  more  difficult  species,  and  redescribes  most  of  the  larger 
several  times.     Fischer's  work  includes  only  a  few  species,  but  these 
are  well  described  and  beautifully  figured.

is  of  a  pinkish-cream  color,  with  rather  distant,  narrow,  spiral  white 
and  deep  red  articulations.  The  form  is  either  very  elongated,  or 
rather  short ;  it  is  always,  however,  longer  and  with  much  less  convex 
whorls  than  P.  ventricosa.

All  tropical  and  subtropical  seas. 

I  have  included  in  this  group  most  of  the  smaller  species,  although 
the  characters  of  the  animal  have  not  been  described  in  the  larger 
number  of  them.  The  dentition  in  the  type  species,  P.  speciosa,  is 
not  very  different  from  that  of  the  typical  species  of  Phasianella. 
The  synonymy  includes  Tricoliella  Monts.,  1884,  type,  P.  pulla 
L.,  (not  intermedia  Sc.  as  stated  by  some  authors),  and  Eudora 
Leach,  1852,  type  P.  pulla  L.  Troschel  wholly  mistook  the  char-

P.  minuta  Anton  (?),  P.  zebrina  d'Orb.  (figs.  99,  100.),  and  P. 
tesselata  C.  B.  Ad.  are  synonyms. 

This  species  and  the  P.  affinis  are  very  abundant  in  many  West 
Indian  localities.  They  are  usually  associated  together.  Fresh 
specimens  of  both  exhibit  microscopic  revolving  impressed  striae. 
Reeve,  who  has  subdivided  the  larger  species  of  this  genus  so  minute- 
ly, "lumps"  these  forms,  with  most  of  the  other  small  species,  under 
P.  pulld  L.  I  have  never  seen  a  specimen  among  hundreds  I  have 
examined  from  the  West  Indies  which  could  not  be  most  readily 
separated  from  the  Mediterranean  shell.  Indeed  both  affinis  and 
tessellata  exhibit  a  surprising  uniformity  in  color-pattern  and  form. 
The  dentition  of  affinis  differs  from  that  of  pulla.  P.  perforata  Phil. 
I  should  be  inclined  to  unite  with  tessellata  were  it  not  from  the 
AVest  Coast. 

The  P.  concolor  of  Adams  I  have  identified  with  a  rather  rare 
color-variety  which  generally  occurs  with  P.  tessellata.  It  is  extremely 
dark,  almost  unicolored ;  but  Avith  a  glass  one  can  perceive  sfcill 
darker  diagonal  lines  upon  the  surface.  This  form  is  figured  on  PI- 
45,  fig.  1.  The  following  description  is  from  the  original  one  of 
Adams : 

P.  concolor  C.  B.  Adams,  1850. 

Shell  rather  long  ovate-conic;  uniform  glossy  brown,  rarely  with 
a  sutural  band  of  a  deeper  shade  of  the  same;  surface  polished,

outlines;  whorls  5,  convex,  the  last  subangular;  aperture  ovate;

ing  impressed  lines;  spire  conic,  the  upper  whorls  sometimes  cariuate 
or  biangulate  from  the  prominence  of  one  or  more  of  the  revolving 
stride;  last  whorl  obscurely  angular  around  the  lower  part,  some- 
times rather  acutely  carinate  above  the  periphery;  aperture  less 
than  half  the  length  of  shell,  rounded  ovate,  columella  arched, 
scarcely  thickened ;  umbilical  region  deeply  grooved  and  narrowly 
umbilicate ;  color  white,  -sparsely  punctate  with  red,  more  or  less 
flammulate  longitudinally  with  red  and  white.  Alt.  5  mill. 

Cuba;  Florida. 

The  revolving  striae  are  entirely  wanting  on  some  individuals. 
There  is  great  variation  in  the  degree  of  exsertion  of  spire,  some 
shells  attaining  a  length  nearly  double  that  given  above. 

The  more  stable  characters  of  the  shell  are  its  narrow  but  decided 
umbilicus,  and  the  very  convex  whorls. 

D'Orbigny  described  the  smooth  form  of  this  species,  as  will  be 
seen  by  his  diagnosis  translated  below: 

"Shell  elongate,  thin,  smooth,  umbilicate,  punctate  with  red, 
maculate  with  red  and  white;  spire  elevated,  apex  acute,  whorls  ~>, 
convex,  separated,  the  last  anteriorly  subangulate ;  aperture  oval."

ple lines;  suture  and  periphery  ornamented  with  large  maculationa

ture oblong  ovate,  equal  to  spire."

"This  beautiful  shell  closely  resembles  the  West  Indian  species- 
Like  many  of  its  congeners,  it  has  parallel  diagonal  lines  of  red  and

by  extremely  minute  wrinkling  over  the  whole  surface,  only  dis- 
cernable  under  the  microscope  when  quite  fresh.  The  umbilicus  is 
very  large  when  young,  and  sharply  keeled ;  when  adult  it  is  often 
nearly  filled  up  by  the  callous  labium.  Operculum  radiately

As  the  name  variegata  is  preoccupied  in  Phasianella,  it  would  be 
better  to  use  the  varietal  name,  substriata,  for  this  species.

1MIASIAXKLLA.  179 

The  name  brevis  is  several  times  preoccupied  in  Phasianella.  but 
not,  I  believe,  for  well  established  species.  However  if  it  be  deemed 
desirable  to  avoid  this  duplication,  the  present  species  may  be  call- 
ed P.  brevissima.

separated  by  well  marked  sutures,  somewhat  flattened  above;  spire 
pointed,  conic;  aperture  rather  small,  short  ovate,  less  than  half  the

flesh  tinted,  ashen  or  brown,  more  or  less  clouded  with  darker  and 
lighter  shades,  and  flammulate  with  dark  and  light  below  the 
sutures,  spirally  traversed  by  narrow  hair-like  lines  of  brown  or  red

Rather  variable  in  coloration,  but  the  narrow  lines, — too  narrow 
to  be  plainly  shown  in  the  figures,  and  difficult  to  make  out  without 
a  glass — are  constant. 

The  synonymy  is  extensive ;  including  P.  nivosa  (pi.  38,  figs.  49, 
50)  P.jaspidea,  (fig.  44,  36.)  P.  lentiginosa  (fig.  51.)  and  P.  fulgnrata 
(fig.  55)  of  Reeve,  P.  grata  (pi.  39a,  fig.  14),  P.  splendida  (pi.  39«, 
fig.  5,)  of  Philippi,  P.  lineolata  Wood,  P.  viridis  Anton,  and  P.  rubens 
Lam.  The  latter  I  cannot  identify;  but  judging  from  Philippi's 
description  and  figure  (pi.  39a,  figs.  6,  7)  of  what  he  supposes  to  be 
Lamarck's  species,  and  from  Kiener's,  (pi.  38,  figs.  47,  48)  I  would 
place  it  in  the  synonymy  of  P.  variegata.  Philippi  gives  Australia 
as  the  locality  of  P.  rubens.  P.  broungniarti  Audouin,  (PI.  39,  figs.

No  narrow  revolving  lines  are  noticed  in  the  description  of  this 
species,  nor  are  they  visible  in  the  figure.  There  are  however  before 
me  specimens  which  have  all  the  characters  of  this  species,  plus 
the  capillary  lines,  and  I  am  inclined  to  believe  it  a  variety  of  the 
P.  variegata. 

P.  FLAMMULATA  Phil.,  1848.      PL  39rt,  fig.  9. 

"The  shell  is  pretty  solid,  long  conoidal,  very  smooth  and  very 
shining,  and  consists  of  6  whorls,  which  are  strongly  convex  and  of 
which  the  last  is  about  three-sevenths  the  entire  length.  The  aper- 
ture is  ovate,  [eiformig]  angular  and  with  a  little  canal  above, 
caused  by  a  thickening  upon  the  inner  wall,  which  stops  just  short 
of  the  insertion  of  the  outer  lip;  the  coloration,  in  the  numerous 
examples  which  I  have  seen,  is  very  constant;  it  consists  of  a  yellow- 
ish ground-color,  merging  into  olive,  with  wavy  milk-white  flames 
which  are  anteriorly  bounded  with  dark,  posteriorly  becoming  lost 
in  the  ground-color,  and  still  finer  undulating  parallel  lines  showing

Subfamily  TUKBININ^E. 

Shell  turbinate  or  trochiform,  solid,  nacreous  within,  smooth  or 
sculptured  outside  ;  operculum  circular  or  elongated,  smooth  or  rug- 
ulose  outside.  Foot  rather  short  and  broad  ;  epipodial  line  with 
or  without  cirrhi.  Dentition  always  according  to  the  formula 
oo*5'l'5'  QO. 

In  this  subfamily  there  are  three  well-marked  groups,  here  con- 
sidered to  rank  as  genera,  of  perhaps  nearly  equal  systematic  value. 
The  principal  characters  upon  which  this  division  is  based  are  the 
operculum  and  the  radula.  The  latter  is  discussed  as  fully  as  my 
material  permits  below.  The  operculum,  in  the  entire  group,  com- 
mences as  a  multispiral  disc,  like  that  of  a  trochus,  upon  the  outer 
side  of  which  is  deposited  a  thin  calcareous  layer  by  a  lobe  of  the 
foot  which  projects  partly  over  it.  This  arrangement  produces  an 
operculum  which  exhibits  all  the  whorls  beneath,  but  which  is  only 
feebly,  or  not  obviously  spiral  above,  from  the  more  or  less  general 
distribution  of  the  calcareous  matter. 

In  the  genus  Leptotkyra  the  development  does  not  go  beyond  the 
primitive  stage.  The  operculum  is  multispiral,  with  a  thin,  calca- 
reous stratum,  slightly  more  prominent  around  the  outer  whorl.  In 
Turbo  the  nucleus  is  the  same ;  but  several  more  rapidly  increasing 
whorls  are  added,  upon  which  a  much  heavier  layer  of  calcareous 
material,  covering  the  whole  surface,  is  deposited.  In  Astralium  a 
very  rapidly  enlarging  whorl  starts  from  the  multispiral  nucleus, 
forming  far  the  greater  portion  of  the  operculum,  and  usually  leaving 
a  pit  at  the  starting  point. 

The  radula  is  broad  and  generally  rather  short.  Median,  lateral 
and  marginal  teeth  are  always  present,  and  the  formula  is  invariably 
QO  -5'1 '5-  oo.  The  central  teeth  are  always  more  developed  than  in 
the  Phasianellince,  (in  which  the  central  tooth  represents  the  part 
here  called  the  body.)  but  never  have  the  long  serrate  cusps  so 


TURBO.  185 

frequent  in  the  Trochidce.  They  are  made  up  of  three  parts,  which 
are  lettered  on  my  plate  61,  fig.  12;  the  body  of  the  tooth  d,  which 
bears  the  cusp,  e,  when  any  is  present ;  this  is  usually  expanded  at 
the  lateral  margins  into  supporting  ivings,  c,  (the  "Stutzlamelle"  of 
Troschel.)  Under  it  lies  the  basal  plate,  a.  ("Basalplatte"  of 
Troschel.) 

Between  the  body  and  the  basal  plate  there  is  frequently  an 
accessory  plate,  marked  b  in  the  figure,  the  function  of  which  is 
unknown  to  me. 

Genus  Turbo. 
A.     Central  teeth  without  cusps. 

Turbo,  including  Senectus  and  Batillus.  Troschel  has  figured 
the  raduhe  of  ten  species  of  this  group  including,  however,  only  one 
of  typical  Turbo,  T.petholatus ;  and  I  have  examined  those  of  several 
additional  forms.  There  is  but  slight  variation  in  the  several  species, 
and  for  detailed  descriptions  of  each  the  student  is  referred  to 
Troschel's  work.  The  median  tooth  consists  of  a  .narrow  oblong 
quadrate  basal  plate,  frequently  with  accessory  plates  of  various 
forms,  to  the  lower  end  of  which  is  attached  the  oval  body  of  the 
tooth, — a  simple  plate  without  cusp,  bearing  supporting  wings  at 
the  sides.  (pi.  61,  fig.  6,  T.  radiatus  Gmel.).  Frequently  the 
central  teeth  are  asymmetrical  in  this  group.  The  laterals  bear 
supporting  wings  at  their  outer  angles,  and  are  various  in  form,  with 
or  without  cusps;  the  inner  marginals  are  very  large,  with  large 
cusps,  (pi.  61,  fig.  5,  T.  argyrostomus.) 

Callopoma.  Median  teeth  like  those  of  Turbo;  laterals  with 
simple  cusps,  and,  except  the  outer  one,  supporting  wings,  giving 
the  body  of  the  tooth  a  trigonal  form.  Marginals  as  in  Senectus. 

Xmella.     Very  similar  to  Callopoma  in  character.  (See  Troschel) 

Modelia,  Ocana.     Radula  unknown. 

B.   Central  teeth  ivith  cusps. 

Marmorostoma.  In  this  and  the  following  subgenera  the  central 
teeth  have  decidedly  reflected  simple  cusps.  The  lateral  margins 
bear  supporting  wings.  Lateral  teeth  similar,  but  asymmetrical, 
the  outer  one  without  supporting  wing;  marginals  as  in  Senectus. 
(T.  porphyrites,  pi.  61,  fig.  10.)  Additional  species  are  figured  by 
Troschel.  T.  smaragdus,  which  I  include  in  this  group,  has  similar 
teeth,  except  that  the  basal  plate  projects  above  the  cusps  of  median 
and  lateral  teeth. 


186  TURBO ASTRALIUM. 

Sarmaticus.  (T.  sarmaticus,  pi.  61,  fig.  7.)  This  form  is  peculiar 
in  the  central  teeth,  which  are  composed  of  three  lamellae  overlying 
each  other;  the  cusp  is  wide  and  simple.  Laterals  with  cusps,  and 
basal  plates  projecting  beyond  the  cusps.  Marginals  as  in  Senectus. 

Prisogaster.  (T.  niger,  pi.  61,  fig.  9.)  Median  tooth  with  a  very 
wide  body,  and  supporting  wings,  cusp  narrowly  reflected  along 
the  whole  upper  margin  of  the  tooth;  laterals  with  prominent 
cusps,  their  bases  denticulate;  inner  marginals  not  enlarged  as  in 
the  preceding  groups,  but  rather  narrow,  with  long  simple  cusps; 
outer  marginals  with  long  serrate  cusps.  In  the  denticulate  cusps 
of  the  lateral  teeth,  and  the  narrow  inner  marginals  this  form  ap- 
proaches more  closely  than  any  other  to  Leptothyra. 

Genus  Astralium. 
A.     Central  teeth  with  cusps. 

Astralium,  s.  sir.  (A.  spinulosum,  pi.  61,  fig.  12.)  The  median 
tooth  has  a  long  basal  plate,  a,  upon  which  an  accessory  obovate 
plate,  b  rests;  upon  this  is  placed  the  body,  d,  with  ''stu'tzlamelle," 
c,  and  cusp,  e.  The  laterals  are  provided  with  cusps,  and,  except 
the  outer  two,  with  supporting  wings. 

Lithopoma.  (A.  tuber,  pi.  61,  fig.  8.)  Median  teeth  as  in  A. 
americanum,  but  with  the  basal  plate  projecting  below.  Laterals 
similar,  asymmetrical.  In  A.  ccelatum  the  central  teeth  are  nearly 
as  wide  at  the  apex  as  at  the  base;  cusp  equally  wide;  otherwise 
similar  in  essential  characters.  In  A.  americanum  (pi.  60,  fig.  71,) 
the  basal  plate  does  not  project  above  the  cusp;  the  tooth  is  sub- 
triangular,  w7ith  supporting  wings  on  the  sides. 

Imperator.  The  radula  is  known  only  by  a  figure  published  by 
Hogg  many  years  ago.  The  central  and  lateral  teeth  bear  cusps. 
The  marginals  are  not  especially  large  toward  the  inside.  Xo 
further  characters  can  be  made  out  from  the  figure. 

Guildfordia.     Radula  unknown. 

B.     Central  teeth  without  cusps. 

Bolma.  Troschel  has  figured  the  radula  of  A.  rugosa.  My  own 
preparations  show  a  decidedly  different  form  from  his  figures ;  the 
centrals  (pi.  61,  fig.  13)  have  a  narrow  long  basal  plate,  wrhich  is 
produced  above  the  body  of  the  tooth  ;  the  latter  is  wide,  oval,  not 
reflected  above  ;  its  lower  margin  is  not  well-defined  in  my  specimens 
which  are,  however,  not  stained ;  the  laterals  are  of  the  usual  form 
and  bear  cusps.  This  group  does  not  seem  to  be 'more  related  to 


ASTRALITM.  187 

Turbo  than  the  other  subgenera  of  Astralium ;  I  have  no  hesitation 
in  placing  it  in  the  division  of  Astral i am  containing  species  without 
cusps  to  the  central  teeth.  Compare  Troschel,  Das  Gebiss  der 
Schnecken,  t.  xxi,  f.  1. 

Cyclocantha.  Troschel  has  examined  the  dentition  of  "A.  rhodo- 
xtnina"  His  figures  show  very  nearly  the  same  form  that  I  have 
figured  for  .4.  Americanum,  and  especially  in  the  central  teeth.  I 
have  examined  the  radula  of  only  one  species,  A.  plicatospinosum, 
and  find  it  of  a  wholly  different  form.  (PI.  61,  fig.  14.)  The  median 
teeth  do  not  have  a  basal  plate  projecting  above ;  the  body  is  quad- 
rangular, somewhat  the  shape  of  a  maltese  cross,  without  cusp.  The 
laterals  have  long  cusps  with  spurs  at  their  bases.  I  am  inclined  to 
believe  that  Troschel's  figure  was  drawn  from  a  species  of  the  West 
Indian  group  of  Astralium,  not  the  real  Cyclocantha.  In  view  of 
the  great  discrepancy  between  his  results  and  my  own,  it  is  very  de- 
sirable that  additional  species  of  Cyclocantha  be  examined. 
I  'I'dtiilla.  Radula  unknown. 

Cookia.  My  knowledge  of  the  radula  of  this  form  is  derived  from 
a  figure  and  description  given  by  Hutton.  Median  tooth  with  a 
long  basal  plate  and  short  body,  of  the  general  form  shown  on  pi.  61, 
fig.  11  for  Pomaulax.  It  bears  no  cusp,  and  has  small  supporting 
wings.  The  first  lateral  also  is  much  like  that  shown  in  Pomaulax; 
the  others  bear  cusps,  and,  except  the  outer,  have  "stutzlamelle" 
Inner  marginal  very  broad,  with  wide  cusp.  Cusps  of  outer  mar- 
ginals simple. 

Pomaulax.  (pi.  61,  fig.  11.)  In  A.  uudosum  I  find  much  the  same 
type  of  dentition  as  Hutton  has  figured  for  Cookia.  The  median 
teeth  have  long  basal  plates,  and  a  cuspless  body,  with  its  lateral 
margins  produced  into  supporting  wings.  The  inner  lateral  is  quite 
complex  in  structure ;  its  upper  edge  is  not  reflected,  but  seems 
turned  upward  somewhat ;  its  outer  upper  angle,  a,  lies  under,  and 
its  supporting  wing  ("Stutzlamelle  "),  b,  over  the  succeeding  lateral 
tooth.  The  three  following  laterals  have  the  same  form  of  body, 
but  their  apices  bear  broad  simple  cusps  ;  the  outer  lateral  is  narrow, 
with  a  bidentate  cusp.  The  marginals  offer  no  unusual  characters ; 
the  inner  ones  are  large,  with  long  cusps  denticulate  at  their  bases ; 
the  outer  ones  have  serrate  margins. 

Pachypoma.  Median  tooth  with  a  narrow  basal  plate,  projecting 
above  a  rectangular  simple  accessory  plate,  which  bears  about  the 
middle  the  oval  body,  without  cusp,  but  with  the  sides  produced  into 


188  LEPTOTHYRA. 

supporting  wings.  Laterals  narrow,  with  simple  cusps  and  supporting 
wings,  the  outer  narrower  and  with  bidentate  cusp.  Inner  marginals 
with  very  large  cusps.  (See  Troschel.) 

Genus  Leptothyra. 

I  have  examined  the  dentition  of  the  following  species :  L.  car- 
penteri, (pi.  60,  fig.  73,)  L.  baeitla,  L.  fceta,  L.  amussittata,  L.  sangaren- 
*i$,  (pi.  61,  fig.  15)  L.  granulosa.  In  all  of  these  species  the  median 
teeth  are  oval,  wide,  with  a  narrow  projection  above,  and  more  or 
less  narrowed  toward  the  base ;  the  upper  margin*is  in  no  case  re- 
flected, so  that  cusp,  cutting  point  or  edge,  in  any  usual  sense,  there  is 
none.  In  L.  carpenteri  and  L.  bacula,  however,  there  is  a  ledge  or 
thickening,  more  or  less  irregular  on  its  lower  margin,  extending 
across  the  body  near  its  upper  margin  ;  but  this  is  not  formed  by  a  re- 
flection of  that  margin,  and  so  cannot  be  considered  as  a  cusp  ;  in  the 
other  species  this  structure  is  absent.  The  lateral  margins  are  pro- 
duced into  supporting  wings.  The  laterals  are  long,  excavated  on 
the  inner  side  for  the  reception  of  the  supporting  wings  of  the  cen- 
trals, and  with  a  process,  b,  underlying  these  "supporting  wings. 
Their  outer  margins  are  produced  into  supporting  wings  like  those 
of  the  centrals.  The  cusps  are  provided  with  several  minute  denti- 
cles at  th^ir  outer  bases.  All  of  the  laterals  are  of  this  form,  except 
the  outer  ones  which  have  no  supporting  wings.  The  marginals  are 
armed  with  long  blunt  narrow  cusps,  which  are  longest  on  the  teeth 
about  the  sixth  from  the  inside,  and  decrease  in  size  in  either  direc- 
tion from  that  point ;  about  the  twelfth  from  the  inside  their  margins 
begin  to  become  serrate.  It  will  be  seen  that  my  results  are  very 
different  from  those  obtained  by  Troschel,  who  has  figured  the  rad- 
ula  of  L.  carpenteri  (under  the  name  of  "L.  coccineus  Desh.").  I  am 
constrained  to  believe  that,  owing  probably  to  some  imperfection  in 
his  preparation  or  other  cause,  he  misinterpreted  certain  structures 
of  these  minute  radulse.  The  characters  of  the  radula  lend  no  sup- 
port to  the  opinion  expressed  by  some  authors  as  to  the  position  of 
this  genus  in  the  Trochidce ;  but  it  is  not  very  closely  allied  to  any 
group  of  the  Tarbinidce.  I  am  undecided  about  the  nature  of  the 
projection  from  the  upper  margin  of  the  central  tooth  of  Leptothyra  ; 
it  may  be  homologous  with  the  basal  plate  of  the  preceding  groups ; 
but  if  so  it  seems  to  be  united  with  the  body  as  far  as  the  upper 
margin  of  the  latter, — a  condition  which  is  not  found  in  Turbo,  etc. 

In  concluding  this  review,  I  wish  to  direct  the  attention  of  con-

of  those  subgenera  in  which  this  organ  is  unknown,  in  order  that 
their  correct  systematic  position  may  be  confirmed.  More  especially 
is  it  necessary  that  in  the  cases  of  Cyclocantha  and  other  groups 
where  the  testimony  of  different  observers  is  considerably  at  variance, 
additional  species  be  investigated. 

In  the  following  account  of  the  various  species,  subgenera  and 
genera  of  this  family,  I  have  taken  every  care  to  adopt  a  nomencla- 
ture that  will  prove  stable ;  deviating  in  many  instances  from  the 
usage  of  previous  authors  upon  this  family  in  order  to  attain  this 
end.  Notably  is  this  the  case  in  certain  subgenera  of  Astralium,  in 
which  the  pernicious  practice  followed  by  many  systematists  of  select- 
ing what  they  believe  to  be  a  "  natural"  type  for  a  group,  instead  of 
restricting  the  group  to  species  with  the  organization  of  the  "  histor- 
ical "  type,  has  led  in  some  instances  to  the  exclusion  from  a  subgenus 
of  the  very  species  designated  by  the  describer  of  that  group  as  its 
type !  I  have  quoted  polynomial  or  "historical"  synonymy  only  in 
cases  in  which  such  names  have  been  adopted  into  general  use.  • 

In  describing  sculpture,  I  have  usually  avoided  the  use  of  the  term 
"  transverse,"  because  there  seems  to  be  considerable  confusion  in  the 
minds  of  many  as  to  whether  such  sculpture  is  transverse  to  the 
whorls  or  to  the  axis  of  the  shell.  The  term  "  longitudinal "  is  here 
used  to  designate  markings  parallel  to  the  axis,  and  "  spiral "  to  de- 
note such  as  follow  the  direction  of  the  whorls ;  in  flattened  species 
the  former  is  frequently  designated  as  "  radiating,"  and  the  latter  as 
"  concentric." 

The  Turbines  have  an  old  and  extensive  literature.  Most  of  the 
more  prominent  species  were  figured  by  Chemnitz,  and  before  him 
by  Lister,  Rumphius,  Knorr,  and  many  another  quaint  old  author, 
whose  tomes  now  stand  undisturbed  on  our  library  shelves,  as  per- 
haps our  own  will  rest  a  century  hence.  From  these  store-houses 
Linnaeus  drew  freely  in  his  mammoth  task  of  cataloguing  all  animate 
nature,  fitting  the  species  defined  by  previous  authors  into  his  Systema 
with  no  other  addition  than  a  binomial  appellation. 

In  modern  times  each  of  the  four  principal  monographic  works 
have  considered  this  group :

TURBO.  1(.»1 

Genus  TURBO  Linn.,  1758. 

Shell  turbinate  or  depressed,  imperforate  or  umhilieate;  yoimu 
not  carinated  nor  spinose;  base  convex;  operculum  flat  or  concave 
inside,  with  three  or  four  whorls  and  subcentral  (multispiral) 
nucleus;  outside  convex,  smooth,  tuberculate,  or  with  concentric 
ribs. 

The  diversity  of  forms  of  both  shell  and  operculum  in  this  genus 
is  very  great,  and  has  caused  the  formation  of  numerous  subgeuera. 
The  affinities  of  the  minor  groups  I  have  attempted  to  express  in 
the  following  table :

Subgenus  TURBO  s.  sir. 

Shell  large  or  moderate  in  size,  turbinate ;  whorls  rounded,  smooth' 
or  ribbed,  spinose  or  carinated,  umbilicate  or  imperforate;  aperture 
subcircular,  more  or  less  produced  at  base.  Operculum  circular, 
with  subcentral  nucleus;  outside  convex,  granulate  or  smooth,  not 
spiral  nor  ribbed. 

Indo-Pacific  Province. 

Synonyms:    Olearia  Klein,  Senectus  Swainson. 

Three  subdivisions  may  be  distinguished,  differing  in  unimportant 
characters :  Turbo,  (restricted),  shell  large,  dilated  at  base,  imperfor- 
ate; whorls  smooth  or  nodulous.  Senectus  (Humph.)  Swainson, 
shell  generally  perforate;  whorls  spirally  lirate.  Batillus  Schum., 
shell  inflated,  imperforate ;  whorls  spinose ;  operculum  with  a  convex 
spiral  rib  outside.  The  dentition  is  essentially  the  same  in  all. 

T.  M ARMOR ATUS  Linn.,  1758.     PL  41,  fig.  23. 

Shell  large,  imperforate,  solid,  ventricose,  as  broad  as  long,  green, 
marbled  with  white  and  rich  brown;  whorls  6-7  flattened  or  con-

T.  regenfud8iPhi\.,  not  Desh.,  and  T.  olearius  Gmel.  are  synonyms. 

Operculum  (PI.  59,  fig,  21)  stibcircular,  somewhat  concave  within,

Shell  large,  globose-conic,  ventricose,  imperforate,  solid,  green, 
irregularly  mottled  and  spirally  striped  with  chestnut,  closely 
irregularly  striate  with  the  same  color;  whorls  6-7  convex,  with 
well  marked  sutures,  and  numerous  more  or  less  conspicuous  revolv- 
ing furrows;  last  whorl  large,  somewhat  flattened  above;  aperture 
subcircular,  pearly  white  within;  outer  lip  rather  thin;  columella 
arched,  with  a  pearly  callus,  which  reappears  at  the  posterior  angle; 
parietal  wall  nearly  devoid  of  callus,  green;  base  slightly  dilated, 
scarcely  produced.  Alt.  75-100,  diam.  70-90  mill. 

Indian  Ocean ;   China  Seas. 

Most  specimens  have  less  prominent  revolving  wrinkles  than  the 
figure,  and  some  occur  almost  smooth.  Perhaps  Reeve's  figure, 
copied  in  my  fig.  53,  is  a  form  of  T.  marmoratus. 

Operculum  circular,  flat  inside,  with  four  whorls  and  subcentral 
nucleus;  outside  convex,  partly  granulose,  pale  brownish  olive. 

T.  JOURDANI  Kiener,  1839.     PL  49,  fig.  53. 

Shell  large,  ovate-conic,  solid,  imperforate;  epidermis  castaneous 
or  olive ;  spire  acute ;  whorls  8,  rounded,  regularly  increasing,  the 
upper  ones  1-3-carinate,  the  lower  transversely  obsoletely  lirate, 
the  last  large,  ventricose,  descending,  nearly  smooth,  or  with  wide 
spiral  costse;  aperture  circular,  white  within,  outer  lip  thin,  colu- 
mella arcuate,  not  expanded  at  base.  Alt.  140-210,  diam.  110-170 
mill.  Australia. 

T.  MAGNIFICUS  Jonas,  1844.     PL  40,  fig.  13. 

Shell  ovate-conic,  turgid,  imperforate,  brownish,  maculated  and 
marbled  with  violaceous;  whorls  6,  rounded,  finely  transversely 
striate,  the  upper  ones  obscurely  angulate  in  the  middle,  the  last 
obtuse;  spire  a  little  exserted,  suture  distinct,  linear;  aperture  large, 
circular,  pearly  within,  opaque  at  margin ;  columella  cylindrical, 
callous  above.  Alt.  63,  diam.  60  mill.

I  have  not  seen  this  species. 


TURBO.  193 

T.  CEPOIDES  E.  A.  Smith,  1880.     PI.  44,  fig.  7-s. 

Shell  ovate-conic,  narrowly  but  profoundly  perforate,  pale  brown, 
strigate  with  green  variegated  with  white ;  whorls  7,  very  convex, 
slightly  compressed  or  sub-excavated  above,  with  conspicuous  irreg- 
ular sub-lamellose  incremental  striae  and  inconspicuous  spiral  lines 
and  sulci  above;  aperture  almost  circular,  slightly  shorter  than  the 
spire,  inside  pale  salmon,  pearly.  Alt.  80,  diam.  70  mill. 

Habitat  unknown. 

This  species  seems  to  be  most  nearly  allied  to  T.  imperialis  and 
T.  jourdani.  Smith  compares  it  to  T.  magnificus  Jonas,  and  says 
that  it  is  distinguished  from  that  form  by  the  presence  of  a  deep 
perforation,  the  narrow  sulcations  revolving  around  the  upper  part 
of  the  whorls,  and  by  the  coloration. 

T.  REGENFUSSI  Desh.,  1843.     PI.  48,  fig.  40. 

Shell  ovate-conic,  thick,  imperforate,  whorls  5-6,  smooth,  convex, 
the  last  large,  dilated,  ventricose,  angulate  above,  with  a  revolving- 
series  of  more  or  less  prominent  tubercles,  below  rounded ;  aperture 
circular,  inside  pearly;  peristome  simple,  posterior  angle  with  a 
thick  callus,  columella  arcuate,  not  produced  at  base ;  color  vivid 
green,  variegated  with  spiral  series  of  square  alternating  white  and 
deep  chestnut  maculations.  Alt.  84,  diam.  80  mill. 

Indian  Ocean. 

Operculum  as  in  T.  imperialis,  reddish  and  granulose  without. 

I  am  not  at  all  certain  that  the  figures  cited  by  Deshayes  do  not 
represent  a  form  of  T.  marmoratus ;  they  are  more  produced  at  the 
base  than  the  figure  given  by  Fischer  (and  which  I  have  copied) 
indicates.  It  may  prove  to  be  a  variety  of  T.  marmoratus. 

T.  PETHOLATUS  Linn.,  1758.     PI.  40,  ng.  14. 

Shell  imperforate,  solid,  polished,  shining,  rich  brown,  variously 
ornamented  with  dark  bands  interrupted  with  white  blotches  and 
narrow  stripes;  whorls  5,  flattened  beneath  the  suture,  sometimes 
carinated  above ;  aperture  about  half  the  length  of  the  shell,  circular, 
pearly  within ;  peristorne  and  columella  tinged  with  greenish-yellow, 
Air.  50-70  mill. 

Red  Sea;  Indian  Ocean;  New  Caledonia;  Philippines,  etc.

superficial,  whitish ;  whorls  6,  convex,  more  or  less  prominently 
shouldered  above ;  ribs  obsolete  around  the  axis ;  aperture  white 
within,  over  half  the  length  of  shell,  ovate,  angled  posteriorly  and 
at  position  of  carina;  its  margin  more  or  less  green  tinged,  not 
fluted ;  columella  thickened  and  effuse  at  base,  callous  posteriorly. 

Alt.  80,  diam.  65  mill.  N.  Australia;  New  Caledonia,  etc. 

T.  canaliculatus  of  Kiener,  (PL  47,  fig.  21)  and  of  Reeve  (PL  42, 
fig.  45),  and  T.  psittacinus  Phil.  ?  are  synonyms. 

Operculum  (pi.  59,  fig.  32)  subcircular,  concave  internally,  with

centre  dark-brown,  coarsely  granulose,  lighter  toward  outer  margin 
and  more  minutely  granulate;  margin  of  increment  white. 

T.  SPARVERIUS  Gmelin,  1788.     PL  47,  fig.  26.

ulate or  tessellate  with  dark  ;  whorls  6,  convex,  rounded,  more  or 
less  angular  around  the  upper  part,  with  inconspicuous  incremental 
striae  and  revolving  lirse,  which  on  last  whorl  are  wide  and  flattened 
with  narrow  interstices  and  are  obsolete  around  the  axis ;  aperture 
over  half  the  length  of  shell ;  white  within,  oval,  angular  above  and 
below;  peristome  scarcely  crenulated, frequently  greenish;  columella 
with  a  heavy  white  callus,  dilated  and  effuse  at  base.  Alt.  80  mill 

East  Indies. 

Operculum  (as  figured  by  Gould)  green  outside. 

T.  canalicnlatm  Gmel.  is  probably  this  species.     It  cannot  be  de- 
termined with  certainty.     It  is  T.  margaritaceus  of  Kiener. 


TURBO.  195 

I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  T.  sparverius  is  a  variety  of  T.  cr<i»- 
6U8.  Both  are  separated  from  T.  setosus  and  its  allies  by  the  obso- 
lescence of  the  spiral  line  around  the  axis. 

T.  SETOSUS  Gmel.,  1788.     PI.  63,  fig.  32.

lated with  brown  and  olive  ;  spire  conic,  acute ;  whorls  6,  convex, 
striute  and  spirally  lirate,  the  ridges  unequal,  wider  than  the  inter- 
spaces, frequently  with  interstitial  lirula? ;  aperture  large,  oval,  white 
within  ;  outer  lip  frequently  green-tinged,  fluted  ;  columella  arcuate, 
deflexed  and  dilated  at  base.  Alt.  70-80,  diam.  60-70  mill.

ulose  in  the  middle,  paler  and  more  finely  granular  at  margins. 

T.  granosm  Phil,  is  probably  this  species.  It  cannot  be  positively 
determined.

flated around  the  middle ;  revolving  lirse  fine,  close,  minutely  gran- 
ulose  ;  base  with  larger  and  irregular  lir&3 ;  aperture  round,  smooth,

brown  and  white  at  margins. 


196  TURBO. 

T.  ARTENSIS  Montrouzier,  1860.     PI.  45,  figs.  96,  97. 

Shell  oval  or  subrhomboidal  in  outline,  ventricose,  solid,  imperfor- 
ate,  covered  with  a  strong  olivaceous  epidermis;  spire  short,  acute; 
sutures  subcanaliculate ;  whorls  5-6,  convex,  with  spiral  line  which 
are  narrower  than  their  interstices,  and  number  11-12  on  the  body- 
whorl,  grooves  closely  radiately  lamellar  striate,  with  a  central 
riblet;  aperture  ovate,  angulate  above  and  below,  white  within; 
columella  flattened,  wide,  effuse  at  base.  Alt.  65,  diam.  60  mill.

Shell  ovate-ventricose,  solid,  imperforate ;  spire  short,  acute,  whorls 
5,  convex ;  sutures  canaliculate;  spirally  lirate;  body-whorl  large  with 
unequal  line  and  one  or  two  intermediate  liruhe  in  the  interstices; 
aperture  ovate,  silvery  within,  peristome  greenish,  somewhat  fluted ; 
columella  dilated  and  produced  at  the  base;  color  chestnut-olive, 
maculated  and  tessellated  with  white.  Alt.  48,  diam.  49  mill. 

Habitat  unknown. 

I  have  not  seen  this  form,  which  Fischer  compares  with  setosus 
and  artensis.  In  coloration  it  is  similar  to  T.  fluctuosus ',  and  Car- 
penter has  identified  it  with  doubt  with  that  species. 

T.  JAPONICUS  Reeve,  1848.     PI.  44,  fig.  81 ;  PI.  48,  fig.  41. 

"Shell  ovate,  imperforated,  rather  thin,  somewhat  inflated ;  whorls 
smooth,  spirally  ribbed,  ribs  sometimes  prominent  and  regular,  some- 
times rather  flattened  and  very  irregular;  fawn-yellow,  variously 
stained  and  blotched  with  red,  interior  silvered."  (Reeve.} 

Reeve  confounded  two  forms  in  his  illustrations  and  diagnosis  of 
this  species:  One  of  his  figures,  (pi.  ix,  fig.  336.  of  the  Conchologia 
Iconica)  is  the  young  of  T.  cornutus  Gmel.;  the  other,  (pi.  viii,  fig. 
33,  of  the  Iconica)  precedes  this  on  his  plates,  and  has  been  recogni- 
zed by  Kiener  and  by  Fischer  as  the  real  T.  japonicus.  Under  these 
circumstances  I  am  compelled  to  place  in  the  synonymy  Sowerhy's 
T.  cernicus,  which  he  founds  upon  shells  which  are  (teste  Sowerby,

cus. According  to  Sowerby  the  species  is  from  Mauritius,  not  Japan. 
The  following  is  Sowerby's  description. 


TURBO.  197 

T.  cernicus  Sowerby,  1886,  (pi.  44,  fig.  81,)  "Shell  ovate  conic, 
solid,  subventricose,  imperforate,  yellowish,  longitudinally  flammulate 
with  reddish-brown ;  spire  acute,  elevated;  whorls  convex  sloping 
above,  minutely  obliquely  striate,  encircled  by  wide  flattened  ribs, 
alternating  with  smaller ;  last  whorl  obtusely  angulated  above, 
lightly  depressed  above  the  angle,  scarcely  canaliculate ;  aperture 
circular,  lip  acute,  scalloped ;  columella  thick,  convex,  slightly 
arcuate  and  slightly  produced  at  base,  longitudinally  plicated." 

"Operculum  very  convex  outside,  green,  suffused  with  bright 
reddish-brown,  conspicuously  granulose."  Sowerby's  figure,  copied 
on  my  plate,  is  two-thirds  natural  size. 

Specimens  before  me  from  Mauritius,  of  this  species,  are  rather 
smaller  than  Reeve's  figure ;  the  broad  flat  ribs,  and  brown  opercu- 
Itim,  conspicuously  granulose  in  the  middle,  are  the  more  prominent 
characters. 

T.  SPLEXDIDULUS  Sowerby,  1886.     PL  44,  fig.  72. 

"Shell  large,  ventricose-conoid,  imperforate,  orange-brown,  white

suture  scarcely  impressed  ;  whorls  about  61,  above  concavo-planate, 
then  convex,  longitudinally  obliquely  striate,  spirally  lirate,  the 
lino  numerous,  unequal,  about  15  on  penultimate  whorl,  the  first 
(subsutural)  prominent,  subnodulose,  brown  and  white  articulated  ; 
base  convex,  smooth,  subobsoletely  sulcate,  overspread  by  white

A  very  variable  species.  I  have  seen  many  imperforate  and  sub- 
perforate  specimens  otherwise  typical  in  character.  The  line  are 
sometimes  subequal  and  nearly  smooth  ;  this  form  is  the  T.  margarlta- 
ceus  of  Reeve,  Fischer,  and  other  authors.  The  margaritaceus  of 
Linnaeus  seems  to  have  been  intermediate  in  character  between  the 
smooth  and  spiuose  forms. 

Var.  MARGARITACEUS  (Linn.)  Auct.     PL  45,  fig.  100. 

Similar  in  form  to  T.  argyrostomus;  lira?  nearly  or  entirely  smooth, 
usually  with  riblets  in  the  interstices  except  on  the  base.

"Shell  elongato-ovate,  umbilicate,  pale  flesh-colored,  maculate 
with  ferrugineous  ;  whorls  rounded,  traversed  by  elevated  spiral 
cinguli,  the  interstices  crispate  with  lamellar  incremental  stria?; 
larger  cinguli  squamose  ;  aperture  subcircular  ;  umbilicus  narrow." 

Philippine  Is.  (Philippi.) 

It  is  the  Delpliinula  turbinopsis  of  Lamarck  ;  T.  lamarckii  Phil. 
is  a  synonymy. 

With  the  exception  of  Philippi  whose  identification  is  doubtful, 
no  one,  in  recent  times,  has  seen  this  form. 

T.  LAJONKAIRII  Desh.,  1839.     PI.  49,  fig.  42. 

Shell  large,  turbinate,  solid,  umbilicate,  white,  sometimes  sparsely 
maculate  with  chestnut;  whorls  6,  striate,  spirally  lirate,  bicarinate, 
the  last  one  and  one-half  armed  with  erect  long  stout  tubular  spines 
on  the  carinae,  ten  to  twelve  in  number  on  the  last  whorl,  usually 
tinged  with  green;  aperture  ovate,  pearly  white  and  iridescent 
within;  columella  thickened  below,  deflexed,  produced  and  some- 
what channelled,  excavated  at  the  conspicuous  umbilicus.  Alt.  80, 
diam.  80  mill.  Keeling  Id.,  Indian  0.  ;  E.  Indies. 

Operculum  (pi.  59,  fig.  10,)  subcircular,  inside  dark  brown,  with 
four  whorls  and  subcentral  nucleus  ;  outside  convex,  coarsely  granose, 
and  dark  brown  in  the  center,  lighter  and  minutely  granulate 
toward  edges,  margin  sub-striate,  with  an  orange  line. 

This  species  is  most  nearly  allied  to  T.  argyrostomus,  differing  in 
the  greater  development  of  spines  and  the  wider  umbilicus.  The 
spines  first  appear  as  vaulted  scales  upon  the  upper  carina  ;  only  in 
well  grown  specimens  do  they  become  closed  in  front  into  tubes.

The  golden-orange  color  of  the  throat,  though  sometimes  rather 
pale,  is  diagnostic  of  this  form.  Operculum  (pi.  59,  fig.  4)  flat  and 
brown  inside  with  four  whorls  and  subcentral  nucleus;  outside  very

the  outer  margin,  white  and  smooth  on  margin  of  increment. 
T.  RADIATUS  Gmel.,  1788.  PI.  47,  fig.  23  ;  pi.  62,  fig.  1. 

Shell  ovate-conic,  imperforate,  solid,  whitish,  streaked  and  macu- 
lated with  brown  or  green,  the  darker  color  often  predominating; 
spire  conic,  acute,  whorls  5-6,  convex,  irregularly  spirally  lirate 
and  finely  regularly  lamellosely  longitudinally  .striate;  subcarinate 
above,  sutures  subcanaliculate;  last  whorl  usually  biaugulate,  with 
a  coronal  and  one  or  two  submedian  lira?  prominent  and  armed  with 
more  or  less  numerous  vaulted  scales  or  spines;  aperture  about  half

Under  the  above  specific  name  I  unite  a  number  of  nominal  spe- 
cies which  agree  in  all  essential  characters.  The  more  important 
are  T.  speciosus  Kiener,  (pi.  47,  fig.  24)  T.  spinosus  Gmel.  et  auct., 
T.  tuberculatus  Kiener,  T.  chemnitzianus  Reeve — founded  upon  the 
same  figure  cited  by  Gmelin  for  T.  radiatus — T.  nivosus  Reeve,  (pi. 
42,  figs.  44,  46)  P.  tuberculosus  Quoy  et  Gaim.,  T.  winteri  Phil.  (?) 
This  is  not  the  T.  radiatus  of  Reeve  nor  of  Kiener,  nor  (probably) 
of  Anton.

T.  TICAONICUS  Reeve,  1848.     PL  47,  fig.  22  ;  pi.  43,  fig.  51. 

Shell  ovate-conic,  perforate,  solid,  dirty  white  or  greenish,  radiate- 
ly  flammulate  above  and  maculate  below  with  black  or  brown  ; 
whorls  6,  convex,  slightly  flattened  'below  the  subcanaliculate  sut-

Operculum  (pi.  60,  fig.  47, 49,)  with  four  whorls  and  subcentral  nu- 
cleus ;  outside  very  convex,  deep  green,  olive  or  brownish  in  the 
centre,  lighter  toward  the  margins,  all  over  except  side  of  increment 
finely  granulose,  and  with  a  radial  sulcus  marking  the  limit  of  the 
margin  of  increment.  The  prominent  character  of  the  operculum 
in  this  species,  as  well  as  in  T.foliaceus  etc.,  is  the  manner  in  which 
the  outer  layer  of  calcareus  matter  overlies  the  granulose  surface 
below,  with  an  obvious  sulcus  at  their  junction.  PI.  60,  fig.  38,  is 
the  operculum  of  the  form  known  as  T.  tumidulns  Rve. 

The  following  are  synonyms:  T.  radiatus  Kiener  (in  part),  T. 
tumidufus  Reeve.  This  species  is  closely  related  to  T.  intercostalis 
Mke.,  but  differs  in  color,  in  the  greater  prominence  of  the  ribs,  and 
in  the  operculum.  My  description  and  figure  of  the  operculum  of 
ticaonicus  are  drawn  from  alcoholic  specimens  containing  the  animal. 
T.foliaceus  Phil,  is  also  allied,  and  has  similar  operculum,  but  has 
much  more  conspicuous  incremental  lamella?.  The  umbilicus  is  in- 
differently perforate  or  closed,  sometimes  rather  wide,  and  the 
variation  in  sculpture  is  considerable.  T.  pulcher  Reeve  is  separated 
from  this  species  principally  because,  according  to  Sowerby,  its  oper- 
culum is  different.  I  suspect  however  that  he  is  mistaken  in  this, 
and  that  it  will  prove  to  be  the  same;  pulcher  is  the  prior  name.

Operculum,  according  to  Sowerby,  like  that  of  T.  sarmaticus.

This  handsome  Sen-cctus  is  more  closely  allied  to  T.  filosns  than  to 
any  other  known  species.  The  general  form  and  proportions  arc 
the  same,  but  the  beautifully  beaded  line  and  especially  the  almost 
perfectly  oval  aperture  will  separate  it  from  that  species.  In  color, 
too,  the  forms  are  diverse.  /Ihe  parietal  callus  is  not  shaped  like 
that  of  T.filosus,  nor  is  the  columella  below  so  broadly  everted  and 
lipped  as  in  that  species.  Tlie  anterior  outline  of  the  callus,  from 
the  base  to  the  superior  angle  of  the  aperture,  is  wholly  different  in 
the  two  species.  The  sculpture  and  columella  will  separate  this 
form  from  T.  spen'/ferianus,  which,  with  heterocheilu9  and  fi 
form  a  group  of  species,  lying  on  the  outskirts  of  Senectut,  the  more 
prominent  characters  of  which  are  found  in  the  peculiar  parietal

line  encircle  the  base;  and  in  this  strongly  nodose  variety  the  in- 
cremental stria)  are  usually  inconspicuous.  In  another  form  the 
spiral  line  are  not  noticably  tuberculate.

The  above  description,  (copied  from  Proc.  Linn.  Soc.  X.  S.  Wales

The  copy  of  Button's  "Catalogue  of  Marine  Mollusea  of  New 
Zealand"  to  which  I  have  access  is  without  the  signature  containing 
his  description.  The  operculum  is  unknown.  Hutton  places  it  with 
doubt  in  Callopoma,  probably  not  its  correct  position.

Operculum  (pi.  59,  figs.  15,  16)  oval,  flat  within,  with  four  whorls, 
nucleus  situated  one-third  the  distance  across  the  face ;  outside  white^ 
excavated  at  the  center,  with  two  strong  spiral  ribs,  the  inner  one 
decidedly  the  stronger ;  a  sharply  granular  tract  outside  the  outer 
rib.  The  figure  given  does  not  well  show  the  character  of  the  ribs.

This  species  varies  much  in  degree  of  elevation  and  carination. 
It  merges  by  insensible  degrees  into  the  var.  lamellosns.  In  the 
typical  form  the  sutures  are  frequently  simple,  not  canaliculate,  and 
the  subsutural  tubercles  are  wanting.

There  is  some  uncertainty  about  which  of  the  above  names  has 
priority  for  this  species.  The  volume  of  the  Conchi/lien  Cabinet  in

not  completed  until  after  the  publication  of  Reeve's  monograph  of

on  p.  69  of  his  Avork,  so  that  from  that  point  onward  we  may  be 
certain  that  his  work  appeared  subsequent  to  Reeve's;  but  whether 
his  description  of  T.  gruneri  ('p.  52  of  the  Conch.  Cnb.^  was  n  dually

220  ASTRALIUM. 

Genus  ASTRALIUM  Link,  1807. 

Shell  trochiform,  generally  more  or  less  flattened  above  or  below; 
imperforate  or  umbilicate;  young  specimens  always  carinated  and 
spinose  at  the  periphery  ;  operculum  oval  or  oblong,  with  (except  in 
Bolma)  submarginal  or  terminal  raultispiral  nucleus;  the  last 
whorl  forming  far  the  greater  portion  of  the  operculum,  usually 
with  one  or  several  ribs  exteriorly,  following  the  course  of  the  spiral 
and  most  elevated  at  the  distal  extremity. 

The  synonyms  are  Calcar  (Montf.)  Fischer  and  other  authors, 
Impemtor  (Montf.)  Auct.,  Trochus,  in  part,  of  all  earlier  authors, 
and  Turbo,  in  part,  Sowerby  Jr.  and  others. 

Authors  have  been  considerably  at  variance  in  regard  to  both 
the  limits  and  the  proper  designation  of  this  genus.      I  have  exam- 
ined the  history  of  every  name  proposed  for  species  of  the  group, 
either  as  generic  or  subgeneric,  and  find  that  none  prior  in  date  to  . 
that  of  Link  (1807)  are  entitled  to  any  standing  in  nomenclature. 

I  am  indebted  to  Dr.  W.  H.  Dall  for  a  copy  of  Link's  description 
of  Astralivm.  It  was  denned  in  the  Beschreibnufj  der  Natarlien- 
Sammlung  der  Universit'dt  zu  Rostock,  von  D.  H.  F.  Link,  Professor, 
etc.,  p.  134-135,  May  17,  1807  ;  the  genus  is  briefly  described  by 
Link  and  A.  deplanatum  given  as  the  first  species,  with  a  reference 
to  figures  in  Chemnitz,  which  fix  the  identity  of  deplanatum  with 
Lamarck's  A.  costulatum,  a  species  of  the  West- Indian  group. 

Those  species  having  a  turbinate  form,  convex  base  and  rounded 
periphery,  such  as  .1.  ruyosum,  A.  ca'latum,  A.  tuber,  have  been 
frequently  adduced  by  authors  as  supplying  the  connecting  links 
between  Turbo  and  Astral  him;  but  such  resemblance  as  they  have 
to  Turbo  is  to  be  attributed  not  to  any  real  relationship,  but  to  a 
secondary  modification  which  they  have  undergone  from  the  stellate 
forms  of  AstraMum.  That  this  is  the  case  is  shown  by  the  young  of 
the  turbinate  species,  which  we  find  to  be  flattened,  acutely  carinated 
and  spinose,  precisely  as  in  typical  Astralium..  As  a  rule,  the  young 
of  species  of  this  genus  are  depressed,  carinated  and  spinose  at  the 
periphery,  the  spines  frequently  being  reduced  in  size  or  lost  in  the 
adult ;  whilst  in  Turbo  the  young  are  in  the  spinose  species  smoother 
than  the  adult,  the  spines  becoming  always  more  prominent  with  age. 

The  real  connecting  forms  between  these  genera  the  student  must 
look  to  palaeontology  to  supplv;  for  the  recent  species  which  at  first 
seem  to  be  intermediate  in  characters  are  undoubtedly  descending 
from  stellate  types  of  Astralium.

Like  Turbo,  this  genus  is  composed  of  a  number  of  quite  div- 
subgenera  of  various  degrees  of  affinity  to  radi  oilier.  I  am  in- 
clined to  divide  them  first  into  two  scries;  those  with  tin1  central

and  without  a  reflected  cusp  at  the  superior  margin,  and  those  with

intermediate  between  typical  longispina  and  var.  spinulosum ;  it  is- 
umbilicate  and  obliquely  plicate  above.  I  cannot  tell  what  species 
Reeve  figured  as  T.  spinulosus ;  it  seems  to  be  a  very  depressed  form 
of  A.  petrosum  Mart.  It  is  certainly  not  the  spinulosum  of  Lamarck.

Reeve's  figure  and  description  are  copied  above.  Of  this  form 
Mr.  E.  A.  Smith  says : 

This  beautiful  species  is  well  characterized  by  its  style  of  paint- 
ing. It  is  whitish  with  broad  scarlet  rays,  particularly  distinct  on 
the  sloping  upper  surfaces  of  the  whorls ;  these  are  sometimes 
edged  with  black  posteriorly,  and  the  suture  is  more  or  less  stained 
with  that  color.  The  lower  part  of  the  body-whorl  i.^  for  the  most 
part  scarlet  with  a  few  narrow  white  streaks  (sometimes  black-spot- 
ted) radiating  from  the  umbilical  region.  The  operculum  is  white, 
thick,  convex,  and  granose  externally.  (Zool.  Coll.  H.  M.  8.

T.  tursicus  was  collected  by  the  '  Alert '  at  Darros  Island,  one 
of  the  Amirante  group.  I  have  copied  on  pi.  09,  fig.  27,  Mr. 
Smith's  figures.  The  species  apparently  is  not  a  Bolma,  but  with- 
out examining  the  shells  and  ascertaining  the  position  of  the 
nucleus  and  nature  of  the  whorls  of  the  operculum,  I  am  not  able 
to  form  an  opinion  as  to  its  true  position.

and  (1arinia*'a.  Tenison-Woods,  not  Swainson. 

There  lias  been  considerable  diversity  of  opinion  regarding  the 
group  above  defined,  both  as  to  its  contents  and  its  proper  designa- 
tion. Stella  was  the  first  name  proposed  for  it ;  but  since,  the  no- 
menclature (almost)  universally  adopted  by  /oologi.-ts  dates  from 
the  publication  of  the  tenth  edition  of  Linmeus  (  17-VS),  \\e  are  com- 
pelled to  reject  the  names  proposed  by  Klein  in  17-").').  This  course 
is  rendered  the  more  imperative  by  the  nature  of  Klein's  work  ;  for 
his  "genera"  are  as  often  denominated  by  a  phrase  as  by  a  single 
word.  Calcar  of  Montfort  was  probably  founded  on  a  species  of 
this  subgenus.  But  this  is  very  uncertain,  as  his  figure  might  be- 
long to  anyone  of  several  very  different  forms.  (See  also  "Fischer, 
Man.  de  Conch.,  p.  813.)  As  to  Carmidea  Swains.,  which  Tenisoii- 
Woods  has  supposed  to  include  the  group  of  A.fimbrialurn,  A.  ten- 
toriifonne  etc.,  there  is  no  warrant  for  using  it  in  any  sueh  sense; 
for  Swainson's  two  types  are  (1)  an  innbllieated  species  of  Trochus, 
and  (2)  a  species  of  Uvanilla,  (A.  buschii  Phil.).  Hercoles  Montf. 
referred  to  this  group  by  some  authors,  is  not  a  mollusc.  As  to  the 
limits  and  contents  of  Cyclocantha  as  here  defined,  I  am  aware  that 
there  is  room  for  controversy.  Fischer  and  others  have  distributed 
a  portion  of  the  species  among  several  adjacent  subgeiiera.  I  have 
included  with  considerable  hesitation  A.fimbriatum  and  A.  tvniorn- 
fornie ;  but  I  do  not  think  that  they  would  be  any  better  placed 
with  J.  olivaceus  etc.  in  Uvanilla. 

It  is  very  difficult  to  express  in  a  diagnosis  the  differences  be- 
tween the  shells  of  this  group  and  of  Astralium,  x.  s.  Both  contain 
flattened  wheel-shaped  umbilicate  forms,  with  long  peripheral 
spines,  and  both  have  compact  trochiform  species.  The  two  groups 
occupy  almost  opposite  areas  upon  the  globe.

An  extremely  variable  species.  In  form  it  may  be  either  conic 
with  nearly  flat  base,  or  flat  above  with  very  convex  and  umbilica- 
ted  base.  The  spines  are  generally  triangular  and  obliquely  wrink- 
led above,  but  are  often  square  and  elaborately  foliated  at  the  ex- 
tremities. Restricting  the  typical  calcar  to  shells  with  moderately 
exserted  scalariform  spire,  depressed  apex,  and  body- whorl  deflected 
toward  the  aperture,  we  may  define  several  varieties  which  are  typ- 
ically quite  distinct,  but  which,  in  the  large  series  before  me,  are 
connected  with  each  other  and  with  the  type  by  insensible  grada-

"There  are  two  specimens  of  this  species  in  the  British  Museum, 
which  differ  from  one  another  in  the  number  of  spirals  on  the  base 
and  have  only  a  faint  tinge  of  purple  at  the  pillar.  In  the  two 
Challenger  specimens,  the  scaly  spirals  are  much  fewer,  and  a  bril- 
liant crimson  streak  to  the  left  of  the  pillar,  and  also  in  front  of  it 
on  the  left  corner  of  the  basal  month  lip,  is  a  marked  feature.  I 
observe,  however,  that  as  is  often  the  case  with  these  brilliant  col- 
ors, the  crimson  has  somewhat  faded  during  the  years  the  shell  has 
been  in  my  hands."

(lenus  LEPTOTHYRA  (Carpenter)  Dull,  1871. 

Shell  small  or  minute,  globose-depressed,  solid,  compact;  umbili- 
cate  or  imperforate,  whorls  .'>-7,  spirally  sculptured,  the  last  generally 
somewhat  dcfiexed  at  the  aperture;  aperture  subcircular,  white  and 
nacreous  within;  columella  generally  but  not  always  bluntly  den- 
ticulate near  the  base.  Operculum  subcircular,  nearly  Hut  or 
concavo-convex,  inside  with  a  very  thin  corneous  layer,  slightly 
convex,  with  many  gradually  increasing  whorls,  the  nucleus  sub- 
central;  outside  calcareous,  subspiral,  with  a  slightly  convex  con- 
centric elevation  or  ridge  around  the  margin,  most  prominent  at 
its  termination,  the  middle  portion  concave  and  more  or  less  rugose. 

The  species  are  numerous,  inhabiting  nearly  all  tropical  and  sub- 
tropical seas;  but  most  numerous  in  the  Pacific. 

The  synonymy  includes  Collonia  Gray  (in  part),  Col  Ionia  of  most 
authors,  Leptony.v  and  Homalopomo  Carpenter  (preoc.),  Cantrainea 
Jeffreys,  Cantraiueia  Fischer,  Anadema  H.  &  A.  Adams.  The 
genus  is  very  homogeneous,  and  neither  of  the  subgenera  proposed, 
(Cantrainea  Jeff,  for  L.  carinata,  and  An<nl('imt,  Ads.  for  L.  coelata 
Ad.  have  sufficient  characters  for  any  systematic  rank. 

The  characters  of  the  dentition  are  discussed  on  p.  188.  The 
rank  and  position  of  this  group  has  been  the  subject  of  considerable 
controversy;  but  partly,  perhaps,  on  account  of  the  minute  size  of 
the  species,  partly  because  of  the  scattered  and  inexact  condition  of 


246  LEPTOTHYRA. 

the  literature  relating  to  it,  the  group  has  never  been  made  an? 
object  of  critical  systematic^  study.  Previous  monographers  have 
included  the  few  species  noticed  at  all  in  Turbo  and  Trochus. 

As  to  the  family  affinities  of  Leptothyra,  the  totality  of  its  charac- 
ters seem  to  me  to  indicate  that  its  position  is  at  the  end  of  the 
Turbinidce,  rather  than  in  the  Trochidce,  where  it  has  been  placed 
by  Von  Martens,  Try  on  and  others.  There  is,  in  fact,  no  character 
save  the  multispiral  operculum,  which  at  all  affiliates  Leptothyra  to 
the  latter  family;  and,  as  I  have  shown,  (p.  184),  all  the  genera  of 
Turbinidce  possess  in  the  very  young  stage,  multispiral  opercula 
precisely  similar  to  that  of  Leptothyra ;  so  similar,  indeed,  that  they 
are  scarcely  distinguishable  from  it.  It  is  altogether  probable  that 
the  Turbines  are  a  divergent  branch  from  the  Trochid  stem ;  and 
that  Leptothyra  and  Collonia  represent  the  primitive  condition  of 
the  entire  family. 

The  more  complex  structure  of  the  operculum  in  the  Turbinidce 
and  the  reduction  of  the  lateral  teeth  to  five  on  either  side, — a 
number  frequently  exceeded  in  the  Trochidce, — indicate  higher  rank 
than  the  latter  family. 

I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  the  relationship  of  Leptothyra  to 
Collonia  is  very  close,  I  am  not,  however,  autoptically  acquainted 
with  the  latter  genus ;  and  until  we  are  in  possession  of  fuller  infor- 
mation regarding  it,  J  deem  it  best  to  retain  them  separate. 

I  will  briefly  recapitulate  the  history  of  the 

Genus  COLLONIA  Gray,  1850. 

"Operculum  circular,  of  many  gradually  increasing  whorls,  with 
a  convex  external  rib  and    central   pit.      Shell  top-shaped,  solid, 
spirally  striated,  imperforated  ;  aperture  circular,  contracted  ;  inner 
lip   rather   callous.       Type,   C.   (Delphinula)   marginata   Lam." 
(Gray.) 

This  genus  was  described  from  a  Paris  Basin  Eocene  fossil,  but 
was  evidently  intended  by  its  author  to  include  also  the  recent  spe- 
cies of  the  type  of  Turbo  sanauineus  L.  In  this  wider  sense  the 
name  was  used  by  most  authors  until  1864,  when  P.  P.  Carpenter 
proposed  for  the  recent  shells  the  name  Leptonyx,  which  being  pre- 
occupied was  changed  to  Leptothyra.  Dall,  Fischer,  and  a  few 
others,  accepting  this  division,  have  restricted  Collonia  to  the  fossil 
forms.  My  information  regarding  the  genus  as  thus  restricted  is 
derived  from  the  original  description  copied  above,  and  from  the 
figures  of  operculum  and  shell  of  the  type  species  given  by  Deshayes 


LEl'TOTHYRA.  247 

and  by  Woodward.  (PI.  <H),  figs.  61,  62.)  I  do  not  understand 
the  discrepancy  between  the  description  of  the  operculum  and  De- 
shaves'  figure  of  it.  The  main  character  distinguishing  dollunia. 
from  Leptothyra  seems  to  be  the  peculiar  peristome  of  the  former. 
Fischer  savs  of  it :  "peristome  continu,  epaissi,  dilate,  except/*  sur  le 
bord  columellaire ;  labre  epais,  parfois  subdouble  ou  subreflechi.  *

There  are  numerous  Tertiary  species. 

NOTE.  The  operculum  of  Leptothyra  frequently  offers  excellent 
specific  characters,  just  as  it  does  in  Turbo  and  AstraUum ;  and  at- 
tention to  these  will  often  enable  one  to  readily  separate  species  of 
which  the  shells  exhibit  considerable  similarity.

The  Californian  shells  appear  to  me  to  be  quite  distinct  from  the 
Mediterranean  species ;  I  have  been  unable  to  find,  in  the  numerous 
specimens  of  the  latter  form  which  I  have  examined,  any  trace  of 
the  peculiar  indentations  in  the  grooves  or  of  the  uneven  character  of 
the  line  which  are  so  conspicuous  in  the  California!!  species.  The 
lira  of  L.  Carpenteri  are  generally  smaller  and  more  numerous; 
about  five  or  six  are  visible  on  the  penultimate  whorl ;  and  those 


248  LEPTOTHYRA. 

upon  the  base  are  but  little,  if  at  all,  narrower  than  the  upper  ones ; 
whilst  in  L.  sangidneus  and  L.sangarensis  the  difference  in  width  is 
decided  and  constant.  I  have  seen  specimens  of  L.  carpenter i 
strongly  lirate  both  above  and  below.  As  to  color,  "  the  species  is 
of  all  shades  of  crimson  and  purple,  some  specimens  being  banded 
with  white,  or  having  the  red  color  of  the  ribs  interrupted  by  ob- 
lique streaks  of  white;  some  specimens,  excepting  the  dark  apex, 
being  pure  white."  ( />'///. ) 

I  did  not  adopt  the  varietal  name  pui'jtirreii*,  proposed  by  Car- 
penter, because  it  has  already  been  twice  used  in  this  genus.

From  L.  amussitata  the  lack  of  distinct  decussation  will  separate 
sangarensis.  I  was  unfortunate  enough  to  lose  the  only  operculum 
of  this  form  in  my  possession,  before  describing  it.

glossy  ;  whole  surface  faintly  marked  with  remote  spiral  threads, 
and  very  faintly  scratched  with  closer  microscopic  stride;  whorls 
bluntly  angulated  in  the  middle,  and  the  last  is  so,  besides,  at  the 
base  below  the  periphery ;  this  angulation  meets  the  outer  lip  ;  the 
the  second  and  third  whorls  have  two  or  three  strong  spiral  threads  , 
there  are  very  many  close  unequal  oblique  lines  of  growth;  of  these 
the  strongest  rise  in  close-set  infra-sutural  puckerings,  which  on  the 
third  whorl  resemble  small  beads;  there  is  a  glossy,  thin  ivory- 
white  calcareous  coat  over  a  brilliant  pearly  white  layer ;  spire  high, 
fine-pointed;  apex  blunt,  the  smooth  rounded  11  whorl  scarcely

To  Pease's  description  of  this  lovely  species,  I  would  add  that  the 
spire  of  adults  is  more  obtuse  than  his  figure,  which  I  have  copied, 
indicates.  The  altitude  is  about  equal  to  the  diameter  ;  the  subsut- 
ural  rib  is  frequently  nodose ;  and  the  umbilicus,  as  in  the  follow- 
ing species,  is  crenated  within  the  margin.  It  is  most  nearly  allied 
to  L.  picta  Pse.

Some  specimens  are  beaded  below  the  sutures,  and  there  is  some 
variation  in  the  width  of  the  umbilical  perforation.  The  revolving 
ribs  are  sometimes  obsolete ;  but  so  far  as  I  know  the  red  spiral 
stripes  are  constant ;  of  these  there  are  usually  eight  to  double  that 
number  on  the  body-whorl.' 

Mr.  Pease  distributed  this  species  under  the  name  of  "rubrilineata 
Garrett."  This  fact  probably  accounts  for  the  names  quoted  by 
Sowerby.

Ins.  Art,  Archipelago  of  N.  Caledonia. 

Evidently  closely  allied  to  L.  Iceta.     Operculum  unknown. 

L.  GRANULOSA  Pease,  1868.     PL  57,  fig.  59. 

Shell  small,  solid,  umbilicate,  depressed  orbicular,  spire  but  slight- 
ly exserted,  very  obtuse ;  whorls  4,  the  first  planorboid,  upper  ones 
granulose,  the  last  spirally  lirate,  the  lirse  about  25  in  number,  un- 
equal ;  aperture  subcircular,  deflected  above ;  umbilicus  plicate 
within  ;  color  whitish,  painted  with  broad  radiating  stripes  and 
spots  of  reddish  brown  ;  white  around  the  umbilicus.

The  spire  is  usually  slightly  shorter  than  in  the  figure. 

The  aperture  does  not  show  the  minute  lirre  within  its  outer  mar- 
gin, and  teeth  within  the  base  which  are  found  in  7>.  hvtn,  and  is 
smaller  and  more  oblique  than  in  L.  pilala.

Operculum  inside  as  usual  in  the  genus,  showing  about  6  closely- 
coiled  whorls ;  outside  subvitreous  and  translucent,  nearly  smooth, 
calcareous,  slightly  concave  in  the  center. 

It  is  Cyclostreina  fluctuata  Hutton. 

Separated  from  L.  Iceta  by  the  lack  of  spiral  sculpture  on  the 
operculum  and  the  somewhat  smaller  size.  My  figures  are  from

maculated  and  spotted  with  clear  and  dark  brown  flecks ;  whorls 
5,  the  last  with  about  sixteen,  penultimate  with  six  to  eight  spiral 
lirse,  which  are  as  broad  as  their  interstices ;  umbilicus  with  cren-

This  species  is  apparently  very  nearly  related  to  the  T.  t?<tnr/tu'n- 
>eu8  L.,  but  is  distinguished  by  the  crowded  transverse  striae  of  the 
upper  surface,  by  the  narrowly  but  conspicuously  umbilicate  base, 
by  the  plica?  within  the  outer  lip,  and  finally  by  the  coloration, 
which  consists  of  large  deep-red  maculations  above  at  the  suture 
and  in  the  middle  of  the  lower  side,  and  smaller  paler  flecks  around 
the  umbilicus  and  at  the  periphery.  I  see  no  tubercle  upon  the 
columella.  (Philippi.')

deed be  nothing  more  than  a  bright  colored  example  of  that  species. 
At  all  events,  nothing  of  the  sort  has  been  found  upon  the  Califor-

sparsely  spotted  with  pink,  depressed,  globose-conic ;  whorls  4-5, 
rounded,  apex  smooth  and  flattened,  the  following  whorls  spirally 
sculptured  with  closely  beaded  unequal  lirse,  of  which  there  are 
about  eight  to  twelve  principal  ones,  and  in  the  interstices  between

very  patulous,  sharp  on  the  edge,  with  a  thick  nacreous  layer  bev- 
elled off  to  the  edge  above  and  in  front,  but  on  the  base  turned 
over  and  advancing  in  a  rounded  pad  beyond  the  lip ;  pillar  lip 
consists  of  a  rounded  mass  of  nacre  backed  and  above  obscured  by  a 
considerable  porcellanous  deposit,  which  is  widely  but  thinly  spread 
out  over  the  body,  so  as  to  connect  in  a  continuous  sweep  the  outer

266  DELPHINULA 

Family  TROCHID^E. 
Sub-family  DELPH  i N  ULIN.T:. 

Shell  turbinate  or  subdiscoidal,  unibilieatc,  solid,  pearly  within 
whorls  loosely  coiled,  the  last  frequently  free  from  the  preceding, 
more  or  less  angulated,  rudely  spirally  lirate,  scaly  or  spinose  ; 
aperture  circular,  peristome  sinuous  on  the  columellar  margin,  acute, 
often  slightly  produced  or  subrostrate  below.  Operculum  thin, 
corneous,  multispiral. 

Animal  with  large  foot ;  epipodial  line  bearing  cirri ;  without 
inter-tentacular  lobes;  eyes* on  short  peduncles  at  the  outer  bases  of 
the  tentacles ;  tentacles  long,  slender;  mouth  provided  with  jaws; 
radula  with  the  formula  oo  .  5-1— 1  .  ac  ,  the  central  tooth  broader 
than  long,  with  a  broadly  reflected  simple  cusp,  lateral  teeth  with 
cusps,  the  two  outer  very  large;  marginals  with  short  simple  cusps, 
the  outermost  with  serrate  cusps. 

The  relations  and  limits  of  this  subfamily  will  be  more  fully 
considered  in  the  monograph  of  the  Trochidw  in  the  next  volume  of

Synopsis  of  recent  Genera. 

Genus  DELPHINULA.  Lamarck,  1803. 

Shell  rather  large,  solid,  umbilicated,  turbinate,  the  upper  whorls 
flattened,  the  last  descending,  rudely  spinose  or  scaly,  more  or  less 
carinated,  but  slightly  in  contact  with  the  preceding;  aperture  cir- 
cular ;  peristome  usually  somewhat  produced  at  base. 

Angaria  (Bolt.  1798)  H.  &  A.  Adams,  1858,  is  a  synomyu. 

In  this  genus  were  formerly  included  the  species  now  classed  in 
Liotia,  Collonia  and  some  other  genera. 

Subgenus  ANGARINA  Bayle,  1878. 

Shell  depressed,  discoidal,  sinistral  (?),  widely  umbilicate,  spirally 
lirate,  aperture  rounded ;  umbilical  area  bounded  by  a  series  of 
spines.  Animal  and  operculum  unknown.  Delphinulopsis  Wright, 
1878,  (preoc.)  is  synomymous.  Probably  not  a  \Talid  genus. 


Genus  DELPHINULA,  Lam.,  1803. 

D.  LACINIATA  Lamarck,  1819.     PL  67,  figs.  1,  2,  4. 

Shell  depressed-turbinate  or  nearly  planorboid,  solid,  heavy,  um- 
bilicate;   whorls  4i,  the   inner   ones   planulate,  planorboid,  apex 


minute;  body-whorl  descending,  frequently  I'm-  or  nearly  free  from 
tin-  preceding,  in  section  subtriangular,  angled  below  ami  K->>  con- 
spicuously so  at  the,  shoulder;  all  over  finely  spirally  lirate,  the  line 
either  smooth,  densely  s(|uaniose  or  spinosc  ;  periphery  bearing 
large  irregular  more  or  less  hollow  foliated  processes,  which  droop 
ibreward  or  downward  ;  one  or  two  series  of  smaller  spines  usually 
revolve  about  the  middle  of  the  last  whorl;  base  carinated,  the 
earina  usually  nodose  or  irregular,  bounding  a  circumtimbilical 
tract  usually  acutely  s<juainose;  the  umbilicus  proper  is  narrow 
and  deep;  aperture  rounded  trigonal,  inside  perfectly  circular, 
pearly,  white  or  tinged  with  golden  ;  peristome  irregular,  acute,  the 
columellar  margin  sinuous,  the  base  more  or  less  produced.  Color 
whitish,  pink  or  yellowish,  the  projecting  processes  and  spine]et> 
often  redder  or  blackish.

The  following  are  synonyms:  D.  delphinulm  Linn.,  I),  farmoxn

D.  nodosa  Rve.  (pi.  66,  fig.  18),  D.  nodulosa  (Gin.)  Phil.  I),  aeu- 
leata  live.  (pi.  (id,  fig.  14)  and  1).  euraeanthra  A.  Ad.  (pi.  dd,  iig.  17) 
are  forms  intermediate  between  the  type  and  var.  melanaoantha. 

Turbo  delphinntn*  of  Linnaeus,  was  undoubtedly  the  first  binomial 
name  applied  to  this  form ;  but  since  it  has  been  ignored  by  authors 
for  more  than  a  century,  science  would  probably  not  be  benefitted 
by  an  attempt  to  revive  it. 

The  variation  in  form,  sculpture  and  color  in  Delph'uinlu  is  very 
_rreat.  I  am  unable  to  distinguish  the  numerous  species  described 
by  Reeve.  The  last  whorl,  in  D.  ladniata,  may  be  deeply  descend- 
ing, almost  or  quite  free  from  the  preceding  at  the  aperture,  or  it 
may  be  but  slightly  descending,  nearly  planorboid.  Its  upper  sur- 
face is  plane  or  very  obscurely  radiately  undulate.  The  peripheral 
spines  in  the  typical  form  defined  above,  are  large,  foliated,  and 
drooping;  but  are  nearly  as  frequently  narrow  and  subsimple.  The 
following  varieties  may,  when  typically  developed,  be  distinguished  ; 
but  the  transition  forms  are  more  numerous  in  collections  than  the 
typical  ones. 

Var.  ATRATA  Reeve,  1842.     PL  66,  fig.  15. 

Differs  from  the  type  in  having  the  superior  series  of  foliations  or 
spines  less  conspicuous  and  those  upon  the  middle  and  base  of  the 
whorl  numerous  and  more  developed:  peristome  pink-margined 
within  ;  ground-color  pink  or  grayish,  lirse  and  spines  black.

DelpJiinus  decrepitus  and  Delpliimis  atratus  Chemnitz  are  identi- 
cal with  this  species. 

D.  martin ii  A.  Adams,  (pi.  66,  fig.  19)  from  Padang  differs  only 
in  the  color.  The  spines  are  red  or  purplish  on  a  pink  ground. 

Yar.  MELAXAOANTIJA  Reeve,  1842.     PL  65,  figs.  6,  7. 

Whorls  rounder,  less  marinated  below  than  in  the  type;  surmount- 
ed by  a  corona  of  slender  long  radiating  or  ascending  spines ;  um- 
bilicus wider. 

D.  imperialis  Reeve  and  D.  distorta  Kiener  (not  Lam.  nor  Linn.) 
are  synonymous. 

D.  SPH/KRULA  Kiener.     PL  67,  fig.  5  ;  pi.  68,  fig.  20. 

I  know  this  form  only  by  the  description  and  figures  .given  by 
Kiener.  The  latter  are  copied  on  my  plates.  In  the  simple,  appar- 
ently very  regular  spines,  the  form  is  different  from  any  specimens 
I  have  seen.

In  general  form  similar  to  D.  Incut iata.  Upper  surface  of  whorls 
radiately  conspicuously  plicate,  the  folds  terminating  in  solid  knobs 
or  short  spines  at  the  carina  ;  linn?  rather  coarser  than  in  laciniata  ; 
base  of  body-whorl  rounded  or  only  obtusely  carinated  ;  the  sculpt- 
ure and  color  of  the  umbilical  area  not  notably  different  from  that 
of  the  whorl  outside  ;  color  white  or  pink,  the  lira .  .-^/.//rx  and  scales 
deep  crimson;  size  smaller  than  laciniata.  Alt.  30,  diam.  40  mill.

A;-:  far  as  my  material  allows  me  to  judge,  this  form  does  not  in- 
tergrade  with  D.  laciniata. 
D.  TYRIA  Reeve,  1842.     PL  66,  figs.  12,  13. 

In  general  form  like  D.  laciniata.  Whorls  ungulate  at  the  shoul- 
der, rounded  or  obtusely  angular  around  the  umbilicus,  covered  all 
over  with  densely  and  acutely  squamose  lira? ;  upper  surface  of 
whorls  plane  or  gently  radiately  undulating;  color  white,  the  um- 
bilical region  and  a  subsutural  spiral  band,  deep  purple  or  purplish 
crimson.  Alt.  45,  diam.  50  mill.

D.  NITIDA    Yerrill  and  Smith,  188,").     PI.  65,  fig.  10. 

Shell  small,  fragile,  very  delicate,  with  a  slight  silwry  iridescence. 
Our  specimen  which  has  lost  the  apex,  consists  of  o  gradually  en- 
larging whorls,  entirely  disconnected  with  each  other  and  nearly 
round  in  a  cross  section.  When  perfect  the  spirt'  must  have  been 
rather  elevated,  gradually  tapering  to  an  acute  tip.  The  surface  is 
sculptured  by  thin  elevated  riblets,  crossed  by  distinctly  raised  re- 
volving lines  of  about  the  same  si/e,  producing  a  pretty  regularly 
cancellated  or  reticulated  sculpture,  in  which  the  meshes  are  mostly 
elongated  in  the  direction  of  the  spire  around  the  periphery,  but  in 
the  opposite  direction  on  the  lateral  and  inner  surfaces ;  the  trans- 
verse riblets  are  most  elevated  on  the  upper  sides  of  the  whorls, 
where  they  rise  into  small  thin  lamellae;  they  also  form  similar 
lamellae  on  the  inner  and  lower  surfaces;  the  revolving  lines  are 
most  conspicuous  around  the  periphery;  minute  but  distinctly 
raised  lines  of  growth  also  cross  the  intervals  between  the  riblets. 
In  a  front  view  of  the  base  the  shell  appears  umbiiicated,  and  the 
upper  whorls  can  be  partially  seen  within  the  umbilicus.  Color 
silvery  white,  slightly  iridescent.  Alt.  (of  last  three  whorls)  5,

Animal  unknown.  The  systematic  position  of  this  form  is  un- 
certain ;  but  the  pearly  structure  of  the  shell  indicates,  a.--  Yerril] 
observes,  that  it  belongs  in  the  vicinity  of  Delpliinula.  although  not 
I  believe,  strictly  speaking,  to  that  genus.

PHASIAXELLA,  subgenus  ORTHOMESI-S,  Pilsbry. 

P.  SPLEXDIDA  Philippi,  1849.     PI.  .'Wa,  fig.  ~). 

This  form  I  inadvertently  placed  in  the  synomymy  of  P.  variegata 
Lam.  (p.  179).  It  seems  to  be  quite  distinct  from  that  species.  I 
translate  Philippi's  description,  which  applies  perfectly  to  the  speci- 
mens before  me. 

"  Shell  ovate-oblong,  conoid,  very  thin,  very  smooth  and  shining, 
olivaceous,  sometimes  varied  by  narrow  milk-white  fiammules  marked 
with  transverse  red  lines  articulated  with  white  dots  ;  aperture  ovate, 
longer  than  the  spire. 

"The  shell  is  long-oval,  conoidal,  thin,  very  smooth  and  very 
shining.  The  whorls  seven  in  number,  are  moderately  convex  The 
last  occupies  more  than  half  the  entire  altitude.  The  two  embryonic 
whorls  are  milk-white,  and  form  a  blunt  apex.  The  aperature  is 
rather  broadly  ovate.  The  color  is  olive-brown,  verging  on  red, 
sometimes  with  narrow  milk-white  flammules,  always  with  evenly 
spaced  red  spiral  lines,  which  are  regularly  interrupted  by  milk-

I  neglected  to  state  in  the  text  that  fine  spiral  capillary  lines  upon 
the  shell  arc  characteristic  of  the  species  of  Orthomesus,  but  are  not 
found  upon  the  true  Phasianella  nor  on  Tricolia.  Variable  as  is  the 
coloration  of  shells  of  this  family  generally,  these  fine  lines  seem  to 
be  most  constant.

I  have  identified  with  this  form  a  series  of  shells  from  the  Sey-

of  T.  petholatus.  If  Sowerby's  figure,  copied  on  my  pi.  69,  fig.  28,.
